Pubs in Crisis - Weekend Plans

[Uncle Buck]

Whilst on the subject I saw a mysteriously sober looking Admiral Canning on my way into work this morning. I nearly didn't recognise him! No glazed eyes, no rosey cheeks, by gosh he looked almost human.

Are you sure it was him and not Les Dawson?

 

[Uncle Buck]

I may give the oldest ASBO in East sussex a bell for sunday. Hes a good surgeon to have on the ward.

Maybe he could arrive on his lawn mower.

I was, but now I'm not.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I was, but now I'm not.

Well I would have thought that the Cardinal would have been on the Comunion Wine by that hour in the morning....

The scariest thing was the pair of shorts he was sporting.

Not his green John Smith ones?

 

[CHAPPERS]

England shorts I do believe, not that I was concentrating on that area of his anatomy for long.

Could it have been this chap ?

Well it is amazing what these public sector workers can get away with....

No no no no no

Only the Yeoman and the Gardens were saved this weekend. Must do better.

I did very POORLY this weekend. The Parkview, Polar East and the Concorde were saved on Friday followed by a long session of saving in the Duke of Wellington (where I won a t shirt for picking the Derby winner) and then the Fiddlers Elbow for the evening.

The Parkview was the Pub I saved regularly when I lived in Herbert Road. You would have ben a twinkel in your papa's eye in those days.

It's shit and full of haircuts nowadays.

What sort of haircuts?

 

[CHAPPERS]

The types of haircut you see on people wearing polo shirts with stuff stitched on that doesn't really need to be there and those who wear t shirts in support of backwater USA 'soccer' teams.

And jeans with designer rips.

And loafers.

Tossers, basically.

In addition to the above the Elephant & Castle in Lewes was also saved late(r) in the evening. Sadly, our attempts to save the Brewers Arms was rebuffed by the bar staff on the ludicrous grounds of our alleged intoxication.

I think we saved "The Quadrant" in Manchester on Saturday. Various quantities of ale, but mainly cider where downed to save the pub so as to not have to go back to Manchetser for an England game for a while! 5 people from Sussex downing drinks as if the place was in serious danger of not being saved!

Its a great pub, tucked out the way, but only a 20 minute walk to Old Trafford. Didnt wait longer than 2 minutes to be served all day. Great stuff.

Ps Note to self - take sun cream and not a rain coat next time I go to Manchester!

I saved the Tattenham Corner on Saturday and helped out the Neville briefly yesterday afternoon..................blimey it's a bit rough now innit.

Oh and I shall be doing my best to ensure the Crown and Anchor stays afloat Saturday after the game.
