first pub you were served in?

[Hampden Park]

15 the rodmill eastbourne in school uniform

 

[Safeway]

Don't know.

 

[Hampden Park]

Don't know.

why were you pissed?

 

[Safeway]

why were you pissed?

Must have been.

Funny you mention the Rodmill, we used to go in there all the time when at Park College. A couple of snakebite & blacks at lunchtime and the afternoon was just a blur.

 

[Bluejuice]

lol....Hangleton Manor...nice enough place...f***ing mission for me though.

I may add from December and the Village Inn, till the start of April, I had no ID asks at all..which was kool.

bloody easy bar ruining my 100% record.

You made the South Terminal Wetherspoons your local?

I can't think of anywhere more soulless. Where do you live then? Surely it's a bit of a mission to get to just to get a pint?

 

[Hampden Park]

not been in there for years (29). the whole of my class, except the do gooders, all went in there in uniform, took off our ties and all got served

 

[Bluejuice]

Mine was also a Wetherspoons mind, the Oxted Inn, in Oxted - funnily enough.

I was 17, a bit of a late starter.

Be down there every lunchtime when I was a sixth former for a beer and a burger for £3. Glorious VALUE days.

 

[bigc]

it was a one off. i'd already had 4 pints at the fly in bar,that my mate with fake ID had got. but my other mate jumped on the london train instead of the brighton train at shoreham station. so we got off at gatwick to decide whether to go to london.

we did, and i got served for the 2nd time in the Polar Bear, just outside China Town.

weird night...but f***ing quality

You must have gone to Ratton, then? I did and I'm 28, so you must have been in the year above.

 

[Superphil]

The Three Tuns in Steyning, I was about 15, must have been 1980. The pub is now a dentists surgey I think, and flats

 

[blueandwhitearmy]

15 in the bar at the Brighton Centre when I went to see Muse I believe.

Never had any trouble with getting in or served since then either, partly due to being 6ft 6" and having a full grown beard!

 

[Soton Seagull]

The Aldrington in Hove, I was 15, a bottle of Autumn Gold Cider (Yuck!), it was a bit rough in there.

[Jim D]

The Sussex Yeoman in Worthing (when it had a Public Bar) at 16. A pint of mild for 1 and 11d (that's almost 10p).

 

[Knightsworld]

The Stanley Arms - Portslade when i was 16.

 

[tinx]

About 15 at the Stout house in horsham.

 

[Braders]

think it was either the Mile Oak or the Park View

both i was 18

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Chalk & Cheese Uckfield - 14

 

[Brighton Breezy]

About 15 at the Stout house in horsham.

Ah the stout house...that would have been probably the second pub I got served in.

What was the first pub you got BARRED from?

I got barred from B52s in Horsham when I was about 16.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Chalk & Cheese Uckfield - 14

The Chalk & Children, home of under-age drinking in Uckfield for many years. Carrys on this tradition in its current form of the "Broadway", second worst "nightclub" in the country*.

My first pub was the Highlands in Uckfield. An old man of 17 with a carefully altered provisional driving license the key to success. I ended up working behind the bar there a few years later.

* Worst nightclub in the country is Bugatti's in Crowborough, obviously.
