I met my wife in there nearly 10 years ago when it was called Churchills! Good memories
Scaffolding went up at the front of the con yesterday. Will keep an eye out for any improvements
Was a regular there in 66/67. Could get a bit lively at times. Always best to stay out of the way of certain individuals!

Yeh ... I had just won a quid on the one armed bandit ... forty lovely tanners ... and I didn't waste a penny of it

I'd say definitely, as most of these "individuals" were your mates!
Your not wrong there Eric, for thirty bob and they'd take you to hospital with alcohol poisoning. I can remember back in the early 70s going into our local (White Bull New Lane) and the landlord say the beer had gone up a penny, I just said it wouldn't be long before we wouldn't be able to get 10 pints for a poundI must be getting old ... oh for the days when thirty bob would get you peed as a rat, get some fags, and fish and six for the way home.

10 pints is a good start to the night
Strange that there was a time in my life that an increase of a penny a pint was considered outrageous gouging
