Closed for a deep clean? It looks like it's been that long they'll have to ring Time Team.

How would you get a flat roof through the door?

Only a Lidl.

Had a pint in The Eagle on several occasions, worked for the Ford truck dealer on the old airfield, my bank was next door.
In there one dinner time and there was a lad carrying a half glass round charging couple of bob a shot to gob in it. When he got enough for a couple of beers he'd sup the gob, while all the regulars cheered him on, Started going to The Jolly Farmers after that, NB if anyone goes in there get a pint, that half glass might still be knocking about

Not far from me that , it used to be okish but is proper run down now . Can only go on the ground floor as the rest of it is riddled with asbestos

Was in not long after Xmas and as soon as we walked in got asked if we were undercover police , as soon as they realised we weren’t had people wanting to buy drugs off us as they thought as we weren’t the usual clientele we were either coppers or drug dealers (I’m neither )

The Beacon Pub on Buttershaw Estate in the 80's and 90's, it always had windows boarded up, only dared go in as a young one, if you knew one of the wrong ones who drank in there. It actually looked the same open, as it was when ready to be demolished.

I couldn't help thinking how a pub with such a name would go down in certain parts of the USA

This one's just closed down. It lost its attraction.

I'd definitely have one over the road and call it "The Steel" and every friday night there'd be a pretend battle in the street with the members of The Magnet and The Steel fighting off criminals shouting "I'm evil! I'm evil!"

The Apollo pub in Harrow (formally called the Arrow -get it?) had to be demolished a few years back to make way for a Tesco Express which was a popular improvement. I had lived only 300 yards away from the place for 25 years and had only once made the mistake of going inside. The state of the beer matched the whole look of the place

The supreme irony was that in 2001 the Apollo was used in the film "Mike Bassett - England Manager" in order to depict the pub in Sunderland where Mike meets up with piss head "Tonka" the "Gazza" type character who in the film played for SAFC.

So in short I had gone to live 300 miles from home and and settled with my family in an area where people's perception of my "local" was that it was shitty enough to be in Sunderland.

It was certainly shitty like.
