Title: how many pubs do you know...
Post by: Richie London on 02 March 2009, 10:18:40
you can walk into on a saturday or sunday afternoon and there packed. this has got to be the first weekend in yrs ive seen it like it. 10 yrs ago on a sunday there would be a que at 11.50 in the morning to get in and packed by 12.30. i dont think ive laughed so much or drunk so much in yrs this weekend. and the reason was everyones short of work so got no weekend work.

we went to a pub in stafford on sunday the catch corner
and for the first time it was dead
its normally packed out and you can't get a seat and wait ages for food

we got to sit and didn't have to wait very long for the food

Same here, never go to the pub anymore, even though we have 2 nice pub's in our village. Used to be 4 pubs and a Social Club ::)
We do tend to keep our going out to the summer months when we are at the Caravan and the kids can come with us to the site club house. ;D

Don't go to pubs anymore. I used to love pubs when they were proper drinkers, pool table, dartboard, jukebox, whoever was behind the jump knew your drink, you could play pontoon or crib for a few bob & if some pillock got out of order you could chin 'em without getting barred, in other words a proper boozer. Sadly the breweries have priced them out now.
    I would'nt drink @ Wetherspoons if they were giving it away, it's just not the same. :(
