I can remember on a Friday night as a treat walking up to the local pub with dad cos they had an off licence. It had it's own separate door and was the size of a box room :-D |

I was shocked to the core Belle. I had a very sheltered upbringing. :-) |

I think that was the norm in most areas till the late 80’s….if you wanted a meal out you went to a restaurant |

All the City pubs were buzzing in the evening. The noise was deafening, which was good. But also thick with cigarette smoke, which wasnt. :-( |

I dont think any of the City pubs sold grub to be honest. Mostly office types, like me, nipping in for a VAT. :-D :-D |
