Ahh,..The George.
I cut my drinking teeth so to speak in there in the early 80's with an old mate I worked with,regularly done our wages by sunday but always pre bought a red bus rover(remember them?) so I could get to work the next week,well before it was a spoons.along with the nightingale and british queen(now gone).
Late '80s on a Friday night we'd always have our stools at the bar of the George,God knows how many pints then terrorise the Chinese opposite by trying to steal the TV and having Jane scream at us that she was calling the police :I cut my drinking teeth so to speak in there in the early 80's with an old mate I worked with,regularly done our wages by sunday but always pre bought a red bus rover(remember them?) so I could get to work the next week,well before it was a spoons.along with the nightingale and british queen(now gone).

The two at the (centre) back appear to be modelling their hairstyles on Jim Carey's character from Dumb and Dumber.On the plus side it was nice that Olly Murs (white jacket) turned up for a singsong.
This must be Essex, surely ?

Picked an Indian up from town earlier and had a glimpse of what it's like. Pissed up chavs walking down the main road with no consideration to traffic, skinny old hag stumbling about swearing at the top of her voice and the smoking area of the local spoons filled with middle aged blokes sporting scruffy double denim and a red complexions only a professional drinking habit gets you.
No thanks.

I always get the Indian Just Eat'ed to the door these days... No thanks.
That sounds like the good old days, as someone who was young in the 90's/00's I'm nostalgic about all this nonsense - crawling home wasted, cigarette smoke hazed pubs, bouncers on every door, scuffles in the street, get the drinks down because closing time is 11pm (unless lock-in), etc. A lot of youngsters I know these days seem content to sit at home knitting watching bake off or whatever...
Just yet another night in at my end, nursing a cup of G&T and having a cheeky squint at Autotrader with one eye on the baby moniotr while the Mrs is asleep on the sofa...
My first local had the grand sum of 6 of us in when I turned up at 9.30,the landlord had a sign on the door 'cash only' and no distancing measures at all.
Next local,plastic screens and direction indicators everywhere for the 12 of us and card only payments,but to be fair I heard it was quite busy early on so needs must.
