Last pint of Boddies I had was in the Cross Guns in Egerton , was Glorious . the Landlord was from Blackburn and I saw him in a "nightclub" in Mill Hill , which was rough as fuck . Egerton was on the drive home from Burnden , was full of Wanderers and some proper characters , IIRC a lad called Daz who had a barbers shop on a main road in Bolton , a stockey lad with curly hair called Bodey and a truck driver called Ivan that everyone seemed to be scared of but was a really nice fella .  

Think the landlord got booted for something dodgy and everyone seemed to move down to the Globe . 

Next thing I know Boddies had been watered down to about 3.4% and was never drunk again . Shame really . 

When I first started going out drinking, at the end of 1979 / start of 1980s there were scores of Boddies pubs around and the bitter was a proper, full-on pint, as Holts bitter was at that time.

One of my first Boddies pints was in the Lamb Inn on Oldham Rd, Failsworth, served from the old metered electric pumps, a fascinating thing for a young novice drinker

Last pint of Boddies that I bought on the day before decimalisation was 1/10 d. 8 new pence. Lovely head on it too with a sparkler on the taps.

One from Hovis Presley that won the Boddington’s comedy festival…

My first ever pint in a pub was a pint of Boddies in the Halfway House in Farnworth in 1979 when I was still at school.

Even at a ripe young age it tasted delicious and now Boddies is back.

A lot of those tend to be closed on a weekend. Feels a bit ‘central’, too.

I used to work very close to that pub in the early 80’s and we went in every Friday lunchtime. My finest achievement was 4 pints in an hour 🤣

went back to work feeling proper pissed.. great times.. 

..and it was a mighty fine pint!

I bet he doesn't remember, but my first pint was bought by one of Miami's mates at a pub in Preston early 80's...underage of course as I was still at school
