At my daughters, on my third Bucks Fizz, before the ale gets hit ;)

The Cow is now a Tesco express. Is the Ellesmere in Monton?

My cousin did until quite recently run the Oddies on the precinct. I used to do a bit boozing down the Paticroft end, Wangies, Bridgewater, Stanley, and others.

Gutted to hear about the Cow

The Ellesmere is in Winton - set back off Worsley Rd - but you had to walk past a Boddies pub - the Egerton to get there - so a lot didn't.

Another pub we will have in common is the Packet House on Patricroft Bridge - best Boddies to be had for me - my Friday night pub crawl when a teenager was Peel Green to Eccles

Merry Christmas to all

I have been in the Packet, not often though. I used to work in Eccles 30 years ago and a lad i worked with lived on the road opposite Wangies and i used to stay over occasionally and go on the piss with him. He moved to Irlam and he took me in the Tiger, that was an experience :))

I know the Ellesmere now, i have family in Winton.

I'd agree with a lot on here about the Politics Forum - and the Matchday Thread histrionics too - and I have always been a big supporter of the Politics Forum when people talk about getting it shut down. One thing that really surprises me though is how much it has shown how thin skinned some people can be.

I have no idea why rag and dipper snoopers go in the other threads to post stuff to rile people up if they want to cause carnage say something controversial in here - BOOM!! Their work would be done lol.

Get onto holts beershop and get a few kegs of cask

https://www.joseph-holt.com/shop/bitter-mini-keg-cask-ale

Delivered straight to your door, had my delivery of a keg, some two hopts and maple moon yesrerday to keep me going for a day or two



As for Tiocfaidh ár lá" strangely enough I,was sorting out my old 7" singles the other week and found a copy of "the merry ploughboy" by dermot obrien where that came from and if I bought ut in my younger day I cannot remember

For some reason I never got my head round Joey Holts - the bitter had a weird after taste to me. Then again I was brought up in Middleton drinking J W Lees and thats a beer that divides opinion too.

Because Lees is just above Robbies on the tastes like dishwater strained through an old sock level of standards.

oddly enough - despite having never drunken anything strained from a dirty old sock - thats the exact same analogy I use when trying to describe to someone why I don't like Holts. Small world eh?
