At least the Flying Dutchman has now become a really decent Indian.
Sam Smith pubs have a ban on mobile phones and swearing.The landlady hates anyone who has a mobile phone
And fun dont forget that as well...Sam Smith pubs have a ban on mobile phones and swearing.
I've done it. Fuck me.I'll raise you Scottish pubs in Blackpool.
NEVER go to Blackpool when it's an Old Firm weekend. To be fair the final six words of that sentence are probably redundant.
I was born in Rickerscote Avenue less than 100 yards from this place - went in there twice in my life if you discount the off sales that used to be on the right hand side and sold sweets. Started life as The Plough before becoming the Alpine Lodge prior to the imaginative name of the Rickerscote Arms. It's now a small housing development.This was our local underage pub when I was a kid - known as the Rickie. Finally closed a few years ago after the second murder outside IIRC.

The latter 2 were my locals growing up round there, my dad practically lived in the Garth (explains a lot really) - Nessie was my pub, loved that place.

So many pubs in the area now gone including The Garth and The Nesbitt Arms.
That looks like the Old Cross Keys which wasnt in New Invention..Vention:
I think you'll find it's the Old Mitre, my friend
It's 20 minutes walk tops from my old house. It's got to be Vention, not far enough up to be Essington.That was classed as Vention? If you’re walking it it’s fucking miles away. Went past it yesterday on the way back from my jab and felt a bit sad, the food in that place was awesome. Could never understand why it closed.
