Re: Oh no

the leather shop on warner street has been there years

when I started in pub game in late 80's sunday afternnon was a right PITA as people could drink with meals so you would end up with all the pee heads coming in trying to get a drink by buying the smallest cheapest thing on the menu and nursing it from 2pm till 7 which blocked the tables so you couldn't serve others. shutting was 10:30 on Sunday but 11pm every other day. The 10:30 finish was there right up till 24 hour opening.

It must have seemed quite sophisticated for you, (& possibly confusing), eating a meal from a plate using those new fangled tools known as cutlery, instead of eating chips from a newspaper with your fingers.

Why, after taking the time to announce to us as you did in the 1st post of this thread, that the place is closing down, would you think that a link to it's web site is of any use to anyone?
