WallBuilder Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 The one at Woodseats has too big a frontage and so it is sometimes difficult to see which door the drunks are going to stumble out of. If I go to the chippy and walk home i have a choice, walk past the Woodseats Hotel and get deafened by loud music and have some drunken slob on the benches outside asking me for a chip or walk on the other side past Wetherspoons and get bowled over as some drunk stumbles out looking for the chinese chippy. I'd walk down the middle of the road but no the drunks have beaten me to that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge Street runs down the right hand side of John Lewis. K x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happychick Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Originally posted by Kristian I'm quite liking the Woodseats Palace these days; I spend a fair amount of time in Woodseats, and as such I find it one of the better places to go in the evening. Agree with you on this Kristian . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I too often go in the woodseats palace. And know someone who used to work there, who told me that the late afternoon the clientele include alcoholic postmen, who spend every single last penny of their wages and often spill lots of pennies all over the counter, trying to find the price of another drink. In the evenings, the place is most busy between 8.30 and 9.30pm where all the chav crowd seem to meet and drink alcopops or blandweiser, and shout in each other's earholes before moving on to the big tree, where they can do the same thing while being deafened with horrible hallam FM chart music which they amusingly like to call R n B, even though it sounds nothing like the Rolling Stones. After this time it is far more pleasent, and many of the tables have groups of people over 30. And a great deal of older people, many of them my neighbours. Later I go over to the chantry where I entertain the pensioners with a few music hall songs from the 1900s on the pub organ, but they are too deaf to notice that I've changed some of the words to rude ones!
