Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Reminds me of back when I was totting - That long ago. So, again, forgive me if I just don't remember perfectly now. Pint of Guinness that you'd sup the top off. Then start replacing the rest with a bottle of Gold Label. Did we call it a 'Blacksmith'? I honestly can't remember now. Few of those though and you couldn't remember that entire fukking afternoon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,800 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Used to be a guy in the pub in Penzance who drank Boddingtons with a Coke top. Was an ex squaddie, think he must have had a bit of shell shock cos on Friday night when the flower seller girls came in he used to buy a rose and eat it.

DIDO.1 22,838 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Just now, stumfelter said: Every pub they went in somebody would shout "have you got crabs?" That's it! I read an article on em once and the company that supplied all the cockle shrimp men across the northwest could still make a good living from it....the problem was they couldn't find any sellers any more to go round the pubs. It takes a special type of person to go into a town centre pub at 10.30pm with a tray full of cockles round your neck Might be worth bearing in mind though in the next financial crash... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) You’d think growing up in a port town we would of been offered all sorts of interesting stuff down the pub. But no, just a geezer with a mockney accent talking out the side of his mouth offering class A’s..... I guess that’s Essex for you Edited November 21, 2020 by Accip74 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
