The Load of Mischief gone!!! Reminds me of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" they "paved paradise to put up a parking lot." Lions Brewery and Massey's will not be missed, but Dutton's put out a decent pint ... had a summer job there in '65 .... great job, got hammered every day .... so I suppose the Middle Club is gone too .... they used to have an annual excursion to Blackpool for the kids .... half a crown to the first one to spot the tower from the bus .... Charlie Cairoli and Paul, Reginald Dixon at the organ .... Pablo's ice cream .... Progress sucks
