True that dave...sitting at home on your lonesome with only your troll collection for company raising a glass of Crudgington's finest and congratulating yourself on how cheap it was at Aldo doesn't really fly for
me.
Give me a pub (any pub) anytime.
And don't get me started on those tightwads who sneak their own booze into pubs and restaurants, happy to use the facilities but not prepared to pay. Hrrrmphh

The place hasn't even open yet and the naysayers are knocking it.

I enjoy a few pints a week in the Read Con.
We get a card stamped with every pint.
Ten stamps free pint. Members only.
Good local company no trouble friendly atmosphere, why sit at home ignoring the soaps.

Good on them for trying to bring something new to the town I say and hope it's a roaring success.

And leave some room to try whatever real ale William and Em's have on up @ Crown. They have had a few good ones on over the last few months.

Guinness I think we all know your thoughts about pubs ...ale houses or whatever you want to call them and in some respects it,s a shame that there are not many of them left but to run a pub selling just ale these days would not last 2 minutes,times have a changed my friend long gone are the days where the little woman stayad at home with the brats while hubby spent his time in the local and having his Sunday dinner brought to him. Going to the pub for lunch these days is a family affair as believe it or not I think we are much more sociable creatures as family time is precious these days.
Anyway each to their own but plastic micro food seems to be very popular ....mother redcap...packed Bentley wood ....packed Game cock....packed sycamore farm...packed do I need to go on, by the way how do you microwave a sirlion steak cant find it in me recipe book anywhere.
We know from your posts that you are never likely to step over the doorstep of the Brickworks but that,s your choice but can you not be happy to see something new come to Accrington and also for the people who have managed to secure a job with a company that has been willing to spend a large amount of money transforming the site into what it is now

Anyway got to go now cos the little woman is donkey stoning the front step

Stanley convert is a man who thinks ahead- he bought her 500 as a wedding present to go with that nice brass 'posser' she still treasures!

Re: New pub opening .

I recently went into one of the pub/eateries and my visit was spoilt by uncontrollable brats running around screaming while the parents were taking not one jot of notice.
Brats = four to ten year old people.
I Like a pint and a good old natter with like minded mates without having to ask my comrades to repeat their words I didn't hear because of the screaming brats.

Re: New pub opening .

I find it strange that one bad experience should determine one's attitude.
Never experienced "brats" running around screaming in any of the gastropubs that I have been in, perhaps I have just been lucky. In fact the worst behaved children in a pub I have experienced have been in the Queen's on a Sunday lunchtime trying to watch the football.

Went in there a year or so ago - we took 3 or 4 steps inside, turned round and went into Grant's which was fine.
