Walking past a dodgy looking pub in a rough part of Portsmouth one Sunday at midday.
It had those swingy saloon doors; someone walked out and as the door swung back and forth I caught the distinct sight of an old woman sat at the bar with a pair of knickers pulled onto her head like a hat.
Portsmouth is good for drinking. So I might have been in that one at some point.It had those swingy saloon doors; someone walked out and as the door swung back and forth I caught the distinct sight of an old woman sat at the bar with a pair of knickers pulled onto her head like a hat.
I've got a personal drinking story -
A couple of years ago, me and my old man went on a pub crawl in London. At one point, we were drinking in an Irish pub somewhere in central London (Cannot remember it's name) My dad is ex army, and as we were halfway through our pints, a pro -IRA song began playing over the speakers. My dad turned to me and pretty much told me to finish our drinks and get out of there.
I still cannot believe it. A pub near central London that was playing that kind of stuff over the sterio speakers.

Wasn't The Cock Tavern was it?

Made the 'interesting' decision to go in their one night a few years back when the Sommers Town Coffee House was closed for some reason. Not exactly the same sort of place...
The Cock is the sort of pub where there is suddenly a deathly silence as everyone stops and stares at the strangers who have walked into their pub. The Guinness was fine though.
Looks familiar. That might have been it.https://goo.gl/maps/ZqHbXx94421S48iT6
