Etiquette Of Women Visiting Pubs. 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's

[Lynn_M]

Could a lone woman go into a pub during those times? My mum would visit pubs in the 1970's, but if she was on her own, she'd wait outside till her friend turned up. Women weren't even allowed into pubs during some erased

Can anyone add anymore insight?

I refer JJ to my esteemed and lengthy thread on "Women Drinking Pints" - according to which well over half of our female ABers appear to be (to use JJ's words) ... Fat Lezzers ...

I still cherish sqad's opening remarks :+)

I must admit that the steward in my local sports club once told me off. I'd ordered 2 pints and drank one whilst he was still pulling the second one. That's what a good game of squash can do to you............

Apologies to Lynn for going off topic.

As Dave's thread proved many people object to women drinking pints. I remember going into an old style boozer type pub in Pershore with some colleagues. It was a bit like the moment in American Werewolf in London when they walk into the Slaughtered Lamb, the locals all stopped and stared when we walked in. All was going well when we went up to the bar and ordered various drinks (including a pint for me), it was going pretty well until one of the guys asked for a Baileys!!!

A pub near me will only serve ladies beer from a wine goblet. The pub us outdated, complete with it's original cobwebs! But it is a joy to go to, the food is wonderful. No TV, but it hasn't gone go down well when I've sat down with my 'pints' and cheering the footie on the radio

Of course, I use the term "fat lezzer" in a good way.

[yogi-bear]

God only help you if the lovely JTH sees this, JJ...I would just pray she dont.

Yes - back to the original topic :

I can remember the look of horror on the face of my girlfriend's father when (as he and I set out for a Saturday teatime couple of pints) she insisted on coming with us.

We spent 45 minutes in the cold, deserted, silent Lounge Bar listening to the jollity from the Public Bar wafting through the pub. Apparently he would have been black-balled if he had taken a woman into the Public.

Then she buggered off home & we trotted happily round into the Public for the rest of the session.

1979 by my reckoning ...

Me too Eccles.....A half!!!!! God forbid!

Hi JJ.....I'm not fat. ;-)

[craft1948]

I'd probably snog gness..................

[EcclesCake]

Is that because she's on your level Craft?

[craft1948]

Well slightly above..............

[gness]

Lord...couldn't get a hug last week now she wants a snog....ok....your place or mine?

[EcclesCake]

Can we watch?

Shocked

One of the last bars in Belfast to refuse women admittance was McGlades in Donegall St. When the old fellow who owned it died it was sold and reopened as The Kremlin, a gay bar. I suppose there's still not many women drink in it.

[gness]

You won't be buying a ticket for the event then, Shoota?

[shoota]

Craft, unfortunately, has agreed to renounce sex for lent on another scurrilous thread so you will be hanging around for a while.....

[gness]

Shoota........lengthy foreplay is not to be sneered at.

[shoota]

So, foreplay isn't sex then?
