leigh white Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Like a Bank Holiday today with the amount of folk sat basking in the hot sun and the buxom serving wenches bringing ale to your table in the packed Centurion pub in Leigh.

Sweep Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 A pub a couple of miles away from here has just been shut down by the council, as their "outside area" isn't outside enough - apparently if they sort it out, they can re-open tomorrow. They've got a massive marquee up, so I'm guessing they had 3 sides up instead of just 2. Loads of the other village pubs are apparently doing a roaring trade though, with folk queueing outside waiting for tables to become available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted April 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2021 Crown isn’t open. Toll Bar across the road is, and the pavement outside couldn’t look more Shameless and pikey if it tried. Driving through Adlington and Chorley it looks like probably 50% are closed today. We really are a nation of pisscans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 For me, folk are wanting to get back to some kind of normality. I don't want to go to the pub yet, but I'm pleased that we're a little further along the road to some sort of freedom. It's a feel good factor possibly, for those queueing outside shops & pubs, etc. Each to their own.... I'm waiting until it warms up a bit, although I'll be happy to attend local cricket... May have to sit in the car watching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogs Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just had the dog at the vets on Bury Rd. Had to wait outside for 20 mins, bowling green sun terrace sounded rowdy then kicked off. Vet receptionist said it was third fight she'd seen this afternoon there. 😂 Normality didn't take long to return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I've had big sessions at Holts pubs and the hangovers are usually markedly less severe. I reckon' their stuff is far closer to nature. It's a yes from me. Pity my local is now a school, until they (the new owner, not the school) can figure out a way to kill all the trees and slip brown envelopes for housing development. This is alleged btw, although they might be minded that 'loose lips...' 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted April 13, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2021 My brother-in-law reopened his barbershop yesterday and some mad bastards queued outside for 4 fucking hours. Between him and his mate, they did 450 haircuts in one day. Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found hangovers from drinking Crystal/Gold/Diamond are usually much worse than supping 'owt else. I do enjoy a pint of Gold though.
