Aye I was a regular in there at the time with loads of names you'd know.

Was a bit chemist one night and asked the fella on the DJ if he was @Provider off RTG.

Someone I know who is from Washington but because their family are/were from Newcastle have never really bothered going into Sunderland and always had the usual misconceptions about it, went through to Sunderland on the drink yesterday afternoon and was impressed with it. The few places they went to they liked and they said the town as a whole was a lot nicer than they thought it would be as it’s been a while since they’d been.

The point of the post was a positive one. Whether people like it or not, this is the misconception a lot of people outside of Sunderland (the town, not wider City of Sunderland) have or have had for years about the place. And in fairness the town and its eating/drinking options weren’t all that appealing for a long time to ‘outsiders’. The point being perceptions are now changing as the town has and continues to improve. Nowt wrong with Washington either, plenty of nice, quiet, leafy parts to live making it a good place to live for many.

Visit to the Canny Lad last night, reasonable crowd in and the beer(Loch Lomond)was nice.

An added bonus was you could have a conversation without having to raise your voice

It's absolutely shite as well. It's got to be the most depressing place in town to have a drink in.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Off there tonight for the first time in about a month, will be interesting as i'm sober now

It was canny when it opened and slowly declined . There's worse in town I'd say .
