The Blandford

[ozz]

Don’t be daft. You wouldn’t get shop lifters in the Blandford !!!

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

My cousin used to manage it with her husband. They were there years.

Just a place for people who fancy an all day sesh who are a bit skint. It’s good that you can still gan out for a cheap pint and socialise. Everyone was nee bother. Same with any supposed rough pub you go in

 

[rapscallion]

Haven't been in since I was 15 in 2005, by which point I think it was mainly cans of Castlemaine XXXX from under the bar and 35Cl bottles of Glen's vodka.

I actually thought it'd either been raised to the ground or turned into a samaritans uk charity shop by now.

 

[AlpineExile]

Probably the only pub in the city centre that I’ve never been through the doors in all these years.

In that case, you've never really lived.

Fosters, John Smiths, Strongbow. Opted for warm DM. Beer choices were limited like.

The last boozer in Sunderland that I remember having a bar billiards table.
Must be back in the late 70's or early 80's when they had one.

I love a rough pub me like. I f***ing hate all these poncey gin bars etc in the big cities.

Used to be class upstairs in the late 80s, early 90s when the skins and heavy rock fans got in.

Upstairs was always a part of our route back then.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

You make me sick you like.

 

[Sam Handwich]

Personal shopper? Ha ha. It was most likely stolen goods.

Surprised it never smashed to smithereens when it fell off the lorry

You gettin mixed up with the borough mate ?

 

[Mackem00]

It's where I get my tabs, scuba diving gear, stationary and clothing of various sizes from.

 

[peil]

Is it still like this?

That bit at the end where @Forrest Gump wanders past gets me every time

 

[makumstu]

Took our lass (no) in a couple of weeks ago.

First thing she was offered was some expensive mascara, she asked what they had and the reply was “just let us know which one you want...”

We used to get people knocking on the door selling trainers / naff naff and OP stuff back in the day, it was class !

I vaguely remember the Tap & Spile down Hendon having one, but could well be wrang
