mikey Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Yep I remember iy and I am sure it was still there around 1990. We used to go after nightclubs for a burger or a bacon sandwich We always used to drive up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.fogg Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 My god,now that does bring back memories,Greasy Veras in the seventies was the place to go to. We used to park up and spend at least an hour there in the early hours chatting away,with a burger or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleracer Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I lived at Pitsmoor in the 70s and passed it on the way home from the night clubs and it was hard to walk past that aroma full of ale. It was a blue van then, is it still the same i wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
