Quite right!

Thought that was in Hunslet??

It is. He's trying to nick our pubs!

suppose your right

Your right.

But in those kinds of pubs their reputation goes before them.

I wouldn't go in that sh*t hole, ever.

Whats the appeal?

Just look at the dregs who wander in.

When landlords come in and try to clean these type of pubs up, they are left with empty pubs as the decent folk wouldn't dream of drinking there. So they relax their policy and allow the pond life back, so least their is something in their till.

Once a pub has lost lost its reputation, its very hard to win back.

no suppose about it. the prossy is in hunslet, i remember when ken triall had it when i was a kid we'd go in with my dad and he'd give us a quid, i used to love going to see ken lovely bloke

Exactly. Once a pub becomes a dive. It'll always be a dive.

A pub becomes a dive, down and outers drink in there, smackheads, heads, doleheads etc etc. It shuts down because only smackheads and co. are the custom. It gets new management. It re-opens. The old custom find out their old gaff is back open. They go back in. It's just a vicious circle.

And like BB said. If you stop those type of people going in, you have no custom at all. So you let them back in.

What did you think to that post eh? Quite sensible? I'm gerrin betta me like.

Case closed. Good work Banger!

Thanks bro.

*high five.*

Yes.

Travellers Rest in Crossgates is a prime example.

I'm sure every estate has at least one grotty down and outers pub. If not more. Pubs were never this bad when I was growing up though. Used to be loads of decent boozers my folks took me to.

Credit crunch.the economy.blah de blaaah.

Westside.

My Caucasian.

Isn't that what happened with Schoey?

TUT TUT Gandy!!!!

You know facts are not allowed on here!

Sorry Tony, won't happen again!

Well you should know the reason Garry lost the pub was becasue he was speinding 16 hour sessions getting p155ed for free TUT TUT

doing owt tonight? of down to uncle kn0b heads if ya wanna join us

Bless that summer of eighty-eight
On a bench outside the Ox & Gate
With a sponge, spanner and rusty nail
And a nice sharp piece of string
Didn't make sense then don't make sense now
But what the 's it matter
Martin missed it doing time

Some with smileys and bandanas
Some trailing heavy manners
From the darts to the bookies to the phone
To the bar to the cab waiting outside
The pub changed hands and word got around
Barred nutters flooded back from miles around
It was a battleground - it went off every night

Martin, Martin, I'm sure he's firing somewhere
Martin, Martin, fired up inside
He pushed it all two steps too far la la la la la
Long arm of the law
Martin missed it doing time

The back bar's cheesier, Big John looks queasier
Nostalgas easier as time goes by
But that nostalga thing says
'where the you're looking?'
You just missed it doing tim

And the whinmoor
and the cock beck
and the old red lion
and the station
and the devon
and the john smeaton/ squinting cat
and the staging post

By shutting down the $hithole that was the manston in its final months the dregs and idiots who dragged that hole down are doing a bang up job of destroying the other local pubs too. Aopart from the staging post, thats always been a poop hole.

That was the same argument that was always used for The Gaiety and The Hayfield - at least all the pimps, prostitutes, dealers, assorted gangsta's and undercover police officers all knew where to find each other every night.

In east Leeds's case McF jumped up little ponces wearing rockport knock-offs with asdadas bottoms all talking like high pitched chipmunks "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee mishter"

Undercover police? You mean off duty police don't you. And Journalists. And a few laywers.
