chartpolski 20,660 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 when i was about 14/15 (late 80s) we were trying to get into a 21 pub in Richmond, the bouncer was all like "you lads don't want to come in here" But we just thought he was just questioning our age so we went into full blag mode "No mate, we've been here plenty of times, love the place" "Some of our mates are already in there" He looked at us sort of oddly, then said "fair enough" and let us in. Our mistake, it was full on blue oyster bar, moustaches every where, leather chaps and hats. We were the centre of attention for the one and only drink we had there before making our escape. Did you not see Socks, Baw and Lab in there ? It was there local !! LOL !! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukey 1,620 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 All the locals at mine have been closed down just found out, the inn, the brothers, the standard, the saracen, the balmore, the morven, the glen douglas was burnt down a few months ago. Weird. All of them were busy pubs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,756 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 When my mates and me were younger we wasn't worried about going into any pub no matter how rough the rep was. After a while we soon realised the same Jeremy Kyle characters seemed to be in most pubs . The bully , the liar , the same mad drunk lady all pissing their dole checks away then complaining there's no money about lol. If they couldn't beat you up or glass and you had given them a hiding they'd go grass ! Shitehouse pubs and Shitehouse people. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some pubs are like that but the one i now frequent is full of some real diamonds in the rough who may be rough on the outside but are really good people and id even trust some of them and i rarely trust anyone 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
