Just had a meeting on Churchgate. Sad to see the Bolton News offices empty. And in a week or two the Travel Counsellors building opposite will be empty. Another 200+ people spending approx £20 per week on parking and lunches in the town... plus whatever other services they spend their hard-earned on - all being lost. Very sad state of affairs.

 

When will it get better? Should these empty offices be turned into apartments?

Back in the early 90's i was  refused entry to a boozer in Didsbury cos i had trainers on.

So a mate who was already inside the pub pushed his 'proper' shoes through the tiny toilet window and we swapped.

Unbeknown to me he'd stepped in some dog shit outside and i had it all over my hands.

I got in the pub though, so fuck 'em.

It seemed a very long walk through a packed pub to get to the toilets & wash my hands.

The maccies there is always good for a freak show or a scrote dust up.

It’s criminal what’s been allowed to happen. 
 

 

There never used to be fights outside pubs on a Friday and Saturday night. It's an outrage.

For a Quick getaway and crashed 

made a run for it 

You've probably seen this doing the rounds on socials and WhatsApp 

Car crash at lights at hunger hill

Then a bloke fleeing the scene....

Proper food of the peasants that stuff. I quite like it (our local butcher makes his own) but dare not ask what it's made up of

Its nice if you put it in-between a couple of slices of turkey on a barm, its very much like stuffin.

Never heard of it before, it's some sort of Lincolnshire meat loaf peasant food.

Googled it, and it looks like a dollop of broken meats. I suspect even Folk from Leigh would turn their noses up at it, it looks that rank

Wanderersways, first with the news. Evening News is still “the Bolton News understands “ etc.

Just looked it up.

How the fuck the Nazis didn’t just stroll in and conquer us I’ll never know.

Dunno how true

But rumour was

There was a bag full of shoes and polish behind the bins round the corners from ritzys 

Left for lads who needed a change of footwear to get in

I’m not falling for that again. My arse is still sore from last time.
