yep.i recall when people went to the nearest pub to the house they lived,maybe a jaunt round a few pubs then back to the local..i recall watching top of pops in the back room on early friday night .pork scracthings and all that !!!!

i like wetherspoons however and have vacated 45 different ones from penzance to glasgow.

times are not the same though of course .i just think people dont really go out midweek in basic pubs ( i dont much ) .we have sky,more tv,more leisure things,we are more choosy.
also a lot of pubs have shut in areas where asians live and the old guard have sold up and moved.
certainly on blackburn road to ossy is example. do you notice not a single pub from platts club till tinker in ossy

that must be a mile plus,with no pub on the main road where 30 years ago there used to be what 15 ? wow.maybe the likes cashy or many others could tell us how many pubs from platts club to tinker and budget 30 years ago ..i reckon a dozen plus ???

Makes you realise how things have changed when you put up a list like that Cashy doesn't it! I only started drinking in 1974 so i've been in most of those, the ones i havn't are Rosebud, Horseshoe, Prince of Wales and i think the Station. Would those all have closed by 74?

Said it before and will say it again , we need someome with computer skills to set up an interactive map to show all the pubs/clubs/ bars that used to be in Accy ....going from 'downtown' along Blackburn Rd. to Church Commercial and then up Union Rd to the Black Dog ......... a long list I know , sure one of our Accy web users has the necessary skills and will volunteer their efforts , sure the prson to does this will get lots of extra karma for their effort . Thanks
