Town is not a patch on what it was back then...the pubs in town now, were shops back then....like you say the top end of town was heaving...infact if you wasnt out for 6 - 7 pm you were lightweight...now if you in town before 10pm most places are empty..if they have opened.....late nite licences have a lot to answer for.....

God this makes me feel old!! We used to go in the polish bar for £1 shots to get get drunk quicker...

If anyone is still out drinking at that time they either aren't drinking quickly enough, they are on drugs or they don't go out until the middle of the night

As far as I know the Polish bar is still there, they took a drinks delivery the other day whilst I was delivering a parcel to the Barley Mow!

All pubs are good pubs in my view as they serve booze...........but atmosphere wise the 80's definitely had better pubs....

I was younger and it was my era and on reflection they didn't have Goku slaying Syrians, so maybe they could have been crap.... or maybe the kyupnik (sic) in the polish club could have messed up my mind and maybe that explains a lot but...




No the 80s were better.....

Especially on Stephenson Place when the last buses were about to leave and all hell let loose lol. Hello hello what we got hear then....

They probably fall into the 'not drinking fast enough' category so they have their wits about them come kicking out time.
