I've just passed a pub in Bury that still had the old Thwaites neon sign,, you know the one that flashes alternate "Thwaites" "A1 Ales". Now I haven't seen one those for years, there used to be one on the wall of the Victoria on Manchester Rd. Does anyone know of any others still in existence?
 
was supposed to be a pub sign/board on the yard floor of the woodnook inn, late 50s,early 60s saying "Farting Donkey" any relics older n me can probably answer this?:confused:
 
Thwaites for Mates
Dutton's for Gluttons
and if you sup Lions you deserve a bloody clawing


no idea what I had for dinner last night , but I remember that.......early alziemers onset maybe :D :D
