hat is your local pub like?

Mine is one of the sleaziest pubs in town - no fancy drinks, ice, lemon etc. The landlord makes Basil Fawlty look magnanimous and it was last decorated circa 1990...but the characters that frequent it are awesome

sorry Gravediggers.

It still exists as far as I know. Haven't been past that way for some time.

We don't have a pub in the village as it's not allowed to have one for some reason. Sadly, one of the nearest pubs is now an antique centre (particularly sad for us as it used to be ours!).

used to a mean beer there, beautifully creamy and very "slippable" down the gullet, a Bellhaven 90 shilling, and then only scotch as a wee dram on match days at Murrayfield......

Two of our Locals are closed down. The Butchers is a drinking mans pub no frills no music, just one fruit machine for leaning on. Sam Smiths beer, cheapest in town, they are waiting to get in at 11am. I've been in with friends and its clean with a good roaring fire in winter-time. The posh pub The Fleece, (and they do fleece you), is more expensive, with quiz nights, The Fox and Grapes is more olde worlde quiz nights music nights, but you can't afford to get drunk there.

The Rovers Return, Douglas, Isle of Man. Nothng to do with Coronation Street, but the owner's near-obsession with Blackburn Rovers FC.
Excellent locally-brewed ale by Bushy's (bitter £2.40 a pint). Weekday lunches, real fire in winter. Very mixed clientele - horse race old fellas, office people, tradesmen and a trendier young set, all rubbing along together.
