Is it just me but I feel tempted to go along and check it out?
Right behind you.

I don't think you've been in a rough pub until you've tried a pub in Burnley or Nelson. The Lord Nelson for example brought in cast iron stools in an attempt to stop people hitting each other with them. On another occasion, I took SWMBO into the Station Hotel in Nelson. We sat at quite a nice table and were happily chatting. A bloke walked past us on the way to the toilet. He then walked past us on the way back. It was obvious that no unzipping or unbuttoning had taken place in the intervening time gap. Now that's class.

When we first moved here, we were looking for a pub with the fledgling ITV2 which was the channel showing our team's European away games at the time. We went in one HOVEL of a pub in search of our snug for some future Wednesday nights and upon enquiring, were confronted by a person of indistinguishable gender who roared out for the entertainment of the assembled clientele; 'Well ahm AC/DC if that's any help too yer?' We vacated that particular pub faster than Usain Bolt would have done.

My father used to work for London Electricity and he had to go in to The Standard opposite Black Horse Road station in Walthamstow and take the meter out as the landlord was fiddling it. Someone turned up at the showrooms (does any remember when the gas and electric boards had showrooms ?) and paid in cash to have it put back before that evening session.

The Mighty Fine in Portsmouth was an interesting pub back in the 80s. They had a one-armed barmaid and a club-footed dwarf bouncer. The dwarf would sit on the barmaid's shoulders at closing time or during a ruckus and swing half a pool cue around his head to clear the crowds. At other times he would go around stamping on the toes of anyone misbehaving with his club foot. The landlord was a transvestite who would loudly proclaim his ability to "F*** or fight" anyone in the pub. All the furniture was bolted to the floor. Had some great nights there.
