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

Let me just put on a tin hat and twist your response…
From your nom de plume I’d guess we all know where your thoughts about football lie…
It’s a shame that most locals support other teams than the local one, times have changed my friend, long gone are the days when the little woman stayed at home with the brats while hubby put on his bob cap, scarf and grabbed his wooden rattle and watched a few local guys kicking a casey around, and woe betide her if his tea wasn’t on the table when he got home.
Going to football these days takes away from that very ‘precious family time’ that you allude to.
Anyway each to his own but plastic football seems to be very popular….Utd packed, City packed, Chelski packed, Arsenal packed..Sky tv showing premier league selling like hot cakes…grass roots football like Stanley having a hard time of it.
My point was, and still is…
it is not a pub...it is a
glorified McDonalds
You are correct I won’t cross the threshold of the Brickworks because I drink in pubs and eat in restaurants….I don’t begrudge job creation, albeit probably in the main a mix of part time, casual and zero hours contracts..but please don’t infer that a multi-national has altruistic motives
Oh..and if you spelt Sirlion(sic) korektly in your search enjun..

Anyway got to go now because ‘er indoors has just left wearing a bob cap and scarf telling me I’d better have her tea on the table when she gets home because England women play more for the shirt than the England men
