He takes his change given to him, to the Nat West in town....cheeky cunt. Quote

A few of my mates worked at the original Ciro one above Boots. Quote
jeep Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 I think Ciro Citerio was on Deansgate above Olivers/Lower Nags. Quote
Roger_Dubuis Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 We're going to be down to 2 Greggs in Bolton town centre, the one on Newport St precinct has a to let sign above it. Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Is that chippy still there, on the street going into the estate, before the Shuttle - up a couple of stairs iirc..? Used to be a cracking chippy that, had mates on Highfield and sometimes we'd walk up to meet them Friday evenings just to go to that chippy. Quote

Chinese round the corner from the Co-Op at the other end of the block, run by Scouse Paul the Evertonian? Yeah, that's still there. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) It was a good 'un... Back in the days when you'd walk a couple of miles for a good' un. I can remember being pissed up in Great Lever and dragging mates across Harper Green fields to Tung Sing too (when it was a good 'un) - for nostalgia stopped for a fish barm there a year or so ago, fucking hell, more like a batter barm - any fish was AWOL.

Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 I might take a detour then. Maybe next Friday. Pity the Shuttle's not still there - won't quite be the same without Newky Brown bottles sailing through the air... (nah, that only happened once, Prince Rupert was rougher imo, Rocket too...) Last time I went in the Shuttle it was very, very early Shameless pub though - god rest it's soul. Quote
Traf Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Only went in the Rocket a couple of times, but frequented the Rupert quite often. They had a cricket team in the Thursday night Bolton Pioneer (Pie n beer) League back in the day and I used to turn out for them. Quote
miamiwhite Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Worked on Tung Sing's roof 3 weeks ago. The other chippy on Highfield, is it John's ? In the middle from the Post Office to the Co-op Quote

That's a cracker as well I can vouch for that one too. Excellent when the Lostock Spitfires were taking liberties against Farnworth SC CC on a T20 last year..... 👍 New Bury Chippy Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Probably due out of date soon as well, the pop... Always were tight sods, if it's still same owner, although he was a walking Ruddock twenty years ago... Where's Century Mill? Near the Vantona Lodge, Old White Arrow Place? Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Now I know - New Bury... Used to pass that gaff very frequently in the early nineties when NB was a great marketplace. Quote
Traf Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 George St. Head from Dixon Green towards the Church Inn (also gone) and it's on that road. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Pub on the corner near the library with a bookies attached behind it - two way door between them both. Only ever went in for change - too young. Quote
