it was only really rough if you wanted it to be rough, most of the numpties left you alone if you weren't acting like a knob. They had to behave cos if they got barred from there they usually had nowhere else left to drink.

Hello to 'chelle and spot as well.

Hiya Rob

It always helped when ya could dive to the room at the back of the bar when bottles got flung about

I had many a saturday night at funnies and dolly greys.fairly regular i was.it was excellent fun mid 80's until mid 90's but it got poor towards the end when it got too empty and was dead even on a saturday.some good times though.i remember that dj that told you to get lost if you asked for anything too alternative.

lol @ Africa's.... I remember we used to go there when i was 16-17 because some of us couldn't make it past the bouncers at lar-de-dars. Proper **** hole 100% A place you surely have to keep your glass in ya hand in fear of it being stolen, spiked, knocked over or spat in. I remember the dance floor. More room to dance in this message box i am typing in. The beer resembled ****, though cheap for the time. Funny what cashman says is probally true that scotland yard have mug pics. I remember there was a lot of fighting outside that club and rumours of bouncers kicking the crap out of people all the time out the back

The place across the road was the old A.E.U. club, which in later life became Mr Millers.
