I don't know much about the Bees Knees, other than I did the majority of my early drinking in there..... BUT, i do know where the bee currently is.

That's not a bee, it's a wasp.

I wondered how long it would be before the 'Pickwick' made it's ghastly appearance. If my memory serves me right, it was converted from the dining room of the old Odeon. Upstairs was the place where you could get the finest English '70's cuisine - Prawn Cocktail, followed by Chicken in the Basket (with serviette to cover the basket holes), finished off by Black Forest Cake. All washed down by a vintage bottle of Hirondelle '72. Downstairs was the Appertife - 6 pints of Watney's Red Barrel resulting in a double enema before one made one's way above into gastronomic paradise.

I always wondered where my ale went; now I know who nicked it.

You owe me about 1500 pints, starting at Stanley's first home game next season.

Typical Cashy. Now claiming under the Statute of Limitations.

OK. I'll settle out of court for a Party Seven - chilled, mind.
