As a youngster used to visit Wheelwright arms (no longer open)
Went to an away darts game by coach!!
Landlord got everyone on coach a beer!!!!
Those were the days lol
sorry to say pubs have had their days, I do not drink but years ago when I did I was always in the Alma in fact lived in there for some time when my wife put me out.
BEEN ON THE CARDS A VERY LONG TIME SAD BUT TIME MOVES ON AND PUBS HAVE HAD THEIR DAY,I DO NOT DRINK NOW BUT IT IS SAD TO SEE JUST GREAT PUBS AND THEIR NAMES GOING,AND WILL NEVER COME BACK ,IT STARTED WHEN THE SMOKING BAN CAME ABOUT.
For rural pubs it started with drink driving laws. For town pubs it was high prices, home drinking then youngsters wanting late nights and live music.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

The price of a pint is enough,£5+ in some pubs.I like a traditional old skool pub but when you can go in the local Spoons and buy a round of drinks for 8 people and get change from a twenty you can see why theyre so popular.
