Aye You arranged to meet in the pub at whatever time and there wasn't too much you could do about it if you were late And if they'd moved on by the time you got there you then had to go and look in every pub till you found them If you then bumped into some one else you knew along the way and had a pint so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her loathing of me increased exponentially with the £50 kids season tickets and the fact that "weekend Dad" was always at the football with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My old man used to take me in the pub... Beer-soaked bar towels were one of my best-loved aromas in my childhood. He used to dip my dummy in his bitter/Guinness and treat me to half a lager shandy when I'd kicked the dummy habit. Probably accounts for at least a bit of my adult antics...

We were forever being asked to go and turn hydrants off again; especially in summer. Seemed a shame to stop the kids having a a wash!
