Leah-Lacie Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 My partner's Grandad is 77, and he still goes in there just about every night. We go down sometimes for a drink with him, and even as a young un', I find the volume of their karaoke system much too loud I guess thats because 90% of the customers are over 60, and going deaf?

LSFbrickwork Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Jerry and Pat were great pals of ours, they went with us to Benidorm Fiesta the first time they ever went, The trip was from the norfolk pub. They were at the Britannia at the time and also the Landlord and landlady of the greyhound went as well as Charlie and Shirley from the Norfolk, Malc Seargent was there as well. I have had some great times with Jerry and Pat. One day in Benidorm the banks all closed down because Benidorm was flooded with countrfeit money, Jerry had a big wad of pesetas and looked after us all with spanish money until the banks re-opened. They went to the Sheffield Arms after the Norfolk, bleeding hell not like him;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Tommy Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 The shop lifters used to hold up their loot to the window from outside to see if you wanted to buy anything. Brought a new meaning to 'window shopping'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trastrick Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 The shop lifters used to hold up their loot to the window from outside to see if you wanted to buy anything. Brought a new meaning to 'window shopping'!!! While I was visiting my Uncle Ken Morris there a young guy came in all breathless and opened his coat to show a load of gold chains. Said he'd just pulled a job and told us how he'd cased the joint and waited for for the jeweller to go to lunch etc. While I was admiring the chains, almost tempted, Ken banged his cane on the table and told him to get lost. Said they were all fake and the kid had been in weeks before with the same story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
