June 14, 201412 yr Off topic, but I remember when that Bar Babylon opened in his old gaff, first time we went in, there was a DJ on playing downtempo house midweek and a bottle bar upstairs - genuinely thought this was the start of Bolton having something as an alternative to Manchester...ha! Last time I saw Supa John was in Home Bargains, ironically, more or less exactly where his happy hunting ground was...I'll bet he can sup with the best of 'em still.
June 17, 201412 yr Bought it. Two of his sons running it and its having a full refurb in sept Who is he not paying to do it up?

June 18, 201412 yr Not according to the orchid website. http://www.pub-explorer.com/themedpubs/orchid.htm Jsl I stand corrected. Damian was the manager at the Beehive, fucked off to Garstang, then ended back at the 3 pigons - I din't realise he jumped company as well. He's now left there too (out of the trade)
June 18, 201412 yr Thought I would pop in on way home to watch a bit of the Spain game. Pulled onto car park and saw the back gate shut but could hear voices and laughing so figured it had blown shut. Went into back yard to be faced with SJM and his sons sorting stuff out. Turns out it was indeed shut, haha! He said it would be open again tomorrow for the match.
June 19, 201412 yr Nice one, glad some of the old bwfc memorabilia is still there. It's not that old it's the Ribbons badge
