Re: 1st pint, 1st local.
 

Remember on bank holiday in 1965. Think the pubs in Clayton or great Harewood were open all day for some reason.Whit walk maybe. Bob Burnside, Chris Meredew, Ian Entwistle and loads more of us from the Bridge decided we were going to walk the route to Harrod and have a pint in every pub. What clowns we were in them days. Started at the Greyhound in Altham or Clayton or wherever it is. Had a bit of a barny with Enti, nothing serious then got rat ars**d. Can't remember moving from there. Think that was the last of my pub crawls.

Re: 1st pint, 1st local.
 

Nice one Mog, who of us started out with a plan and got no further than the 1st pub??? ONE pint in the pub on Christmas lunchtime while the wife is doin the Turkey springs to mind (and more than once!!!!)

Bay Horse is where I served my time Dave, Bill was the landlord at the time, it was a meeting place for lots of teenagers most under 18:D We all used to use the little tap room on the right of the bar, a local football team ran from there too Surf United were a very good team in their day
