Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 19, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted March 19, 2012 Ainsworth is going the way Nab Gate at Harwood went. Popular landlord jacked it to be replaced by the most obnoxious pair of cretins that ever ran a pub. One or two regulars, myself included, spoke to them quietly about the way they were ruining OUR local pub They got bouncers in! I opened the serving hatch in order that the new landlady could get through and she never said thanks, kiss my arse or anything else. Now I hate bad manners and rudeness so I told her it was a pleasure. BARRED! Pretty soon all the regulars gor barred too. Most eventually went back but I'm a little more stubborn. I can understand why it shut and changed to a restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no balls Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I asked the landlord of my local to bob out and get me & my friend some tea Saturday night. Miserable bastard refused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) If Juan Kerr is a shit fan, like me, our paths probably cross quite often, whilst not knowing each other - it's always been my 'local', whether as a kid playing football, 'rambo' or tree-climbing or, in later years - getting pissed and combining the three...still climb the wall at times Edited March 19, 2012 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan.Kerr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Woah, woah, woah, I'm not a shit fan. I went in after going to the QPR match, not instead of it. I was in on Saturday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny G Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nearest is Top Spinners but I prefer The Cardwell or Bottom Spinners (Oh matron!). If I am lucky enough to enjoy a pint on a Friday after work then its the Long Pull (Flea Pit). Not that I get out much these days! I live in between Cardwell and Top Spinners, I go in the later more often for the 3pm games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in the Top Spinners was over a month ago for a couple on a Sunday afternoon - like I said, I don't get out much these days!

matty2094 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Don't really have a local but best pubs locally have to be The Swan or the globe on tottington road, still not great though. Local used to be one called the woolpack round the corner but thats turned into an indian now. Shame that.

Fengshui Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Starkie Arms, gets some bad stick, but not a bad pub these days since it's been done up, plenty of cheap beer too. Got the 3rd different landlord in at the minute though since it changed, scousers, but they seem alreet. Play darts for the Balmoral too, but maybe moving to the greyhound soon, as the Balmoral desperatly needs a new landlord to turn the place round.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 20, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2012 Taps or Astley Bridge Connie Club. Went in Taps a couple of weeks ago. Good pub to have as a local, especially if you're a real ale drinker; which I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your good lady had seen his length in all it's glory the way she got excited when telling me No we were out with the dog, he isnt the guy opposite but a bit further up the street the funny thing was that i shouted the mrs to look at the top of my voice, the bloke in the shower must have heard but i reckon he was approaching the vinegars as he paused for a sec and then quickly carried on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted March 21, 2012 Site Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well I can safely say it wasn't me you saw knocking one out in the shower as there isn't a window in direct view of mine! Hmmm... Not seen anyone out walking a Pug to be honest, I must make it out to the pub more often though that's for sure - I'll even buy you a pint.
