When I used to run a pub a gentleman used to come in and have a half of courage directors with a gold label in Used to have four or five of them a night Did he walk home or was he airlifted out? No he was a big lad used to have a few more at weekends when he didn't have work in the morning I'm going back to the eighties and nineties we had a old dear who used to come into the smoke room with her two friends They would have a bottle of light ale and a bottle of Guinness she would have gold label they had four a night each I just think people tended to drink more out in them days

Proppa drinkers were them. Not like your Lager louts these days, a couple of shandies and they want to take on the world. Those old dears would stagger home pissed as a fart and still knit 2 woolie jumpers and a scarf before bedtime. Hard as fuck!

Hard as fuck! nobody would dare give them any lip you always used to see pensioners walking home from the pub around closing time It's a pity they don't fell safe to do it nowadays

One thing I do miss was the old stokie pubs where everyone from the surrounding terrace houses would meet up on a Friday. Get pissed and then someone would get on the Piano. The smell of smoke and stale beer . Off licence at the side and as a nipper making a few pennies from returning bottles. If you were crafty you could get round the back, nick a crate of empty's and get money for the lot
Happy Days

Could anybody drink Tennents extra? My grandad used to work at Bass Worthington and we used to buy beer from the shop. I bought some home once. My god it was strong or another soft? Probably both What about Tennents Super? It was something like 8 or 10% proof. Alcohol soup. It messed you up big time. Surely only fit for tramps and alcoholics?

To be honest I'd rather create that hostile atmosphere than sit on my hands and not shout about anything all game. We do a similar thing when a certain Aaron Ramsey returns to the Brit and it creates a great atmosphere. I'm all for it. The Ramsey abuse started later on after the relentless abuse dished out to Ryan . Not really related to his injury for which he recieved the sympathy it deserved on the day . True, but I remember a certain section of our supporters breaking out in a rendition of 'He's only got one leg'
