Love my local … it helps that a good friend of mine owns it too. It’s always been a community pub here and the lads I drink there with now ate the lads I grew up with. Times have changed though over the years and it’s much quieter on a weekday night now than if used to be but from 2pm on a Friday afternoon through to Sunday closing time it’s a fantastic pub.

I bet you have a right Beano in there

I remember the days when the pub closed at 15:00 in the afternoon and then opened again at 17:00 (I think). Just seems so weird thinking back

Nottingham was one of the largest cities where they closed at 10:30 in the evening even on Fri/Sat. Kids don’t even go out until then now.

You got around it by joining a members only club for the day - usually cost 50p lol

I can still remember parts of North Wales being dry on a Sunday, due to the power that the Church still had.

The answer as always, was join a members only club for the day lol

5 30pm it was. Sundays 12-2pm and 7pm till 10 30pm. Remember when an extra half hour was added on Fri an Sat night, shut at 11pm.

I have been to my 'local' tonight and there was seven people in there????
To give some context - this was also my 'local' from when I first started drinking.
I remember the place being packed to the rafters 7 nights a week.
This is not just about the demise of my local though, it just seems to be a steady decline in pubs generally.

I'm sure others have said this, but... it's January, half the country has covid, and the other half's trying to avoid getting it.

Amazed there were as many as 7 in there

January is a dead month. Hardy regulars only through the week… everyone is triple jabbed so no one is really bothered about Omicron now though…

Sitting at home on your tod with a case of cheap ale, is just desperate.

I am that man lol lol

 

[Dutch Toffee]

A night out is too expensive people are having others around to theirs and buying 20 bottles for a fraction of the cost compared to a pub.
