I love Sixex the most. In a Holts pub I’ll usually have pints of Black then a bottle of that if it’s on stock
Did a bit of drayman work at John Smiths and went out with one of the porters , shaky Bob ( ex wilsons) . He had 2 cans walking into work a couple of bottles the night man left him in the cab as much as was offered to him at every pub sometimes 10/ 11 drops and then drop a gallon on his way back home ....... absolute legendChrist yea,one of my best pals from school dad went exactly the same way,he worked for Bass as a delivery driver,house was always full of cans,I often thought it was part of the pay package,he sadly died at 59

My Mum was a barmaid in the George Hotel in Cadishead. In school holidays I would go in with her about 10am whilst she got the bar ready. The draymen would often turn up for a delivery whilst I was there and would sink a pint each before they left. I assume they did that in every pub they visited. Those were the days eh ? (This would have been mid sixties)My dad worked at Greenalls and Boddingtons!
It wasn’t a great place to work for life expectancy though. The number of blokes in Warrington who worked at Greenalls and Tetley Walkers and received free ale as part of their pay deal and are now no longer with us is very high! At Tetley’s, my uncle got 24 cans of Skol Special a week and those in the Brewing bit in a Greenalls could drink all day while they worked !
