I lived in a village for a number of years, I'm not sure it was an insult,
Plenty of outdoor spaces. | |

Yep
That's pretty much how I remember it.
The Burrows was an astonishing place the like of which don't exist anymore.
That underpass was nasty, Doras maybe even more so... ( sorry Kev ! ) but I loved living there ..
There were also some decent proper pubs ...The Adelphi & The Duke and a proper cafe in Taylors tea rooms.
Another world. | |

You're right there, Gower - about the pubs: it was another another world. Preferred the Duke as it was to what it is today. It was a proper pub then, with one or two tiny snug bars, if I remember right, one of which was always crammed in the day with old blokes smoking pipes and watching the horse racing on the telly.
Dora's - that's another story: got done over by the bouncers there one night - they never wore suits and shirts, so you could never tell who or where they were. I'm sure they used to mingle on the dance floor and deliberately provoke fights. Bad-ass place.
I'm starting to sound like an old man!
One of the few proper pubs left in the centre of Swansea - one that hasn't been renovated to death - is the Queens Hotel on Gloucester Place. Only visit Swansea once or twice a year these days, but always find time for a pint or two in there. | | | |

Yep.
The Queens is the only decent pub left in the City Centre.
When we visit Liverpool we often pop in here...

Last time I was in the Queen's it stank of wee. Not sure if it was the pub itself or some of the patrons. We're spoiled these days, expecting our pubs not to smell of bodily fluids or worse. [Post edited 15 Sep 2016 21:24]

Lots of pubs have a whiff about them probably always have its just that the fag smoke used to mask it.
The Sloop in St Ives is a prime example. | |

Never had any problem with Dora's. I can remember on a particularly good night out, waking up in a seat in the corner with all the lights in the place on and a cleaner hoovering up around me. God knows what time it was but no hassle, just got up staggered up the stairs and walked home .................. I think. | |

Wind Street was never the same after they closed the Green Shield Stamp Catalogue Shop.
Who remembers that place then?
I think it became the first Argos store in town if my memory serves me right. | |

Bower.
What?
You been to a Liverpool pub -lived to tell the tale.
Did you get robbed, stabbed or approached or see any bin rustlers.
Enjoy it.
Tell the cocks down there .
Anyway, yeah long time since I been mainly as I worked around there. It was a pretty dangerous place at times and red light area.
Changed for the better and now much gentrification..awful lot of buildings work nearby
Liverpool has many warts but for music especially its staggering and frankly I don't know how it manages to produce such talent.
It's totally Liverpool talent that keeps live music scene so good.
Wirral is shyte for music  | |

The Cross Keys is a tidyish pub, even the Pumphouse down the Marina. The Queens is half decent but where has the stuffed Bear gone?? | | | |

I played there a few times in the early 90's. I think we used to load in from the back and play down stairs - does that sound right? Pretty sure we used to play in a basement. Can you still go down there? | |

No ones answered the question yet, why is it pronounced wine??? | | | |
| Does anyone help? on 16:20 - Sep 16 with 1728 views | Darran |
Probably because it's not. | |

You still haven't told everyone what I've lied about too. | |

The old No sign wine bar was a fantastic watering hole too. Iremember the Goose too.
Was the RAOB Club the Buff, I think, around there also? | |
