All we want is confirmation that this is not so.

There is a massive alcohol abuse problem amongst kids here in the UK....if it is true that this place does have such a facility, then it is beyond parody.

Dunno if they got one or not T, but brats should not be in pubs simple as.

In other words, a typical cheapo drinking hole for gullible northerners put togeather by a tatty southern based retail outfit.

There is one thing, though and I would appreciate if someone could clarify this: did I read on here or did I just dream it, that this drinking establishment has installed a nappy changing facility? Can you confirm that this is in fact, a nightmare and is not true? For if it is true, then what next? A nursery up one corner of the bar?

I forgot to mention.

The best thing about going there.

You're guaranteed not to bored to death by some soft southern Jessie, up for the weekend.

Yes, no old Teabags.

Teabag's not one for your old fashioned Accy boozer.

He's been this way ever since his roof top protest.

When Lar De Dars closed down.

I think the nappy changing room is just next to the creche, leave your little darlings there while you get hammered at the bar.

My auntie lived on Square road in Walsden...I went every Friday after school and stayed until Sunday teatime...not my choice, I went to help her out...do shopping, cleaning etc.......didn't like Tod, and wasn't overfond of Walsden either.

I did not over look the link Margaret, in fact I mentioned Weatherspoons opening the White Hart in Todmorden a few post back.

What I was meaning is what has me scoring the cricket match got to do with Weathespoons.
I remember Square road well enough Margaret, I delivered papers there to the ones who could afford one.
Even in the late 50's people on Square road had to cross the road to use their lavatory or use a bucket and tip the waste, along with the ash from the fire, into the river which ran under the back window.

This was long before Weathespoon was a twinkle in some ones eye, back on topic.

Thanks Marg, had a bad cold this week.
My Bro had the Root Beer, it is disgusting but it brings back memories for him as he used to have it as a kid when we went McDonalds when they did it!!
