Varsity Opened In Accrington
 

Re-opened as the Varsity, but a well nourished Captain Birdseye lookalike was insisting on " 2 forms of ID" tonight so I assume they are not serious about making any money.

I will wait until the next owner.

Nothing wrong with trying to make sure he doesn't have underage drinking in his pub. If you are lucky enough to look underage carrying ID in pubs is expected now.

I would love to look young enough to be asked for my ID card instead of my Senior Citizen one…enjoy it while you can.

Think it was the Cavendish furniture shop in the 60/70's..anyhoo

UPDATE: Sneak peek at new pub opening in Accrington tonight - Accrington Observer

Back in the day pubs had a peg board price list stuck up on the wall somewhere, that only changed on budget day (think that was also the time they changed the meat pies in the glass cabinet)...looking at this photos of this place they have menus on tables giving the price of everything except a bleedin' pint

They must be paying the DJ well - he's doing a 19 hour shift!

2 forms of ID is not the norm at all. If rolled out no one would get in a pub.

yeh was nearer to the yorkshire bank, used to shop yon fer all me made to measure suits back in the day, once went in to purchase a new un (always paid cash) and some clever beggar with beard @ waistcoat informed i owed them a sum of dosh,told him twas impossible i always paid cash on the nail @ he asked for my reciepts, which as late teen i always binned i told him, he then got really uppity, so i grabbed his tie and pulled him down so his head was on the glass counter and said if he asked for dosh again his head was going through it, his assistant i told to come oer, gave him my name @ addy and said you check all this out, which he promised he would,and told him they had lost a cash sale of a MtoM suit,about a month later i got a grovelling letter,apologising and saying they hoped i would remain a customer, they had 2 hopes "BoB" '" No," end of my shopping yon.
