We're all so much more cosmopolitan and sophisticated now!
The Magpie had a landlord called Tony in the early 90's iirc??
TBH I didn't go in by choice, my first boss was a regular and dragged me in at lunch time. In the early 90's nobody gave a stuff if you downed 4-5 pints on a Friday dinner.
Can remember the bitter was Whitbread and the clientele was not to be messed with ;)
