Hehehe, I also used to go round the Barbury as a student nurse in the 80's. The Aussie white wine never failed to get us drunk. The rest of the pubs were rough but we loved it. I also remember going into the Vulcan before they shut it down. It was full of prostitutes, transexuals and extremely shifty looking people. They had an African Grey parrot in there, which an acquaintance of mine inherited when it closed. She tried to teach it to speak but to no avail. One day at a family party at her house, when the house was full, this parrot suddenly spouted the most obscene language (in a very loud parrot-type voice). We nearly had to pick her grandma up off the floor........ It seems that the parrot adored crowds.

Aaaah, happy days..
