Hector's House used to be the Norfolk Arms

Tir na Nog used to be The Volunteer

Maria Fitzherbert's used to be Nobles Bar

What have the Lamb & Flag and the Cranbourne by Churchill Sq become? They both have poncey names now.

Surely you are too young for Sherry's?

I virtually lived down there for a few few years and (sadly!) met my Mrs there.

What was the pub nearer the West Pier, that all the Arabs seemed to like? I used to have to listen on the last bus home, to common disco Doris going on about how lovely Achmed was, and how she really fancied Mahmood and he's really a PRINCE back in Egypt

The Abinger.


Smooth types like me would also have tried, usually unsuccessfully, to get a performance out of Disco Doris.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Maria Fitzherbert's used to be Nobles Bar

This sounds familiar - where is this ?

Guilty to remembering all of this and also when the Top Rank was an ice rink

In name only. It's now a monstrous abomination with expensive, poncey food and clean toilets. The pool table's gone, the big screens have gone, the lads have gone; I don't think I've even SEEN Kev Taylor since it was done up. It was also a rock-solid Albion pub (running a very handy minibus up and down to Withdean on matchdays) and one of the few pubs where if you cheered TOO loudly for a Premiership team you'd be told to shut the f*** up.

If (when) John leaves the Cleveland and the new guv'nor does it up - I'll burn it down.

It's a pub full of potentous FUCKS now. The atmopshere used to be quality, plenty of motown tunes and as you say, any plastic fans would soon be told to f*** off.

Kev is still about by the way

 

[CHAPPERS]

You can't possibly do the Cleveland up any more. That conservatory bit out the back is bad enough (though the food i had whilst sitting in there was pretty good).

It's quite surprising that the PPT and Cleveland lasted as long as they did, considering the amount of young families/commuters around there.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

The Spotted Dog was the pub we joked about for being about the only mincer hangout back then.

Wasn't there another one in East St affectionately known as "The Gland in Hand"

The Cuthbert - Hemmingways

Hemmingways. Is it still as empty as it was 6 months ago? No atmosphere at all.
