Malkin Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Originally posted by Rich AFAIK the Yorkie Grey is still scheduled to be knocked down in favour of building a car park, although given the Council's retarded anti-car policies I can't really understand WHY they're building a car park.. They are building a car park on the yorkshire grey because it is next to all the council buildings! One rule for one.... etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonS Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I think a bunch of the regulars and staff formed a Ltd Company to keep the Washington going.... I'm not 100% sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Have they sorted out the problem with the fag smoke in the washington. We stopped going in there because it was impossible to breathe. All the windows were sealed and all the crappy blocked up air cleaners were on full, blocked up and having no effect whatsoever. I asked a couple of times at the bar if they were going to do anything about it and just got laughed at. So we all stopped going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 The cunning management of the Washington seems to be unable to keep it stocked with...well...beer.... Slight oversight n'est pas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HendryVIII Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I remember reading earlier this year that The Yorkshire Grey is going to be raised to the ground to make way for the new St Paul's Place development. I really hope they don't bulldoze it - not because it's a good pub, but because the building is a beautiful piece of 19th century architecture. What do you all think - should The Yorkshire Grey be saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Definitely.. The whole thing smacks of hypocrisy on the Council's part anyway, they don't want people taking their cars in Town, yet they want to demolish a popular pub to make... A car park! Something that would ENCOURAGE cars into the City Centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theimposter Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 The Washington went bad went good last year and now appears to be bad again. I dont know how they keep running out of beer. It seems they might be trying to run it into the ground again. Though I have seen flyers for a punk night called 'Plan B' that is starting up on the first thursday in august and heard that other dj nights are starting up so maybe im wrong?
