In the eighties a sheep shearer could buy a pint for each sheep shorn,now it takes 4-5 sheep shorn to make a pint .

would that be classed as a post coital beverage?

Did you ever go to Bianco’s in Stockton around 1991/2?

 

IIRC they had screwed up the beer order and had a lot of surplus.

 

It was a quid to get in and 10p a pint,  limited to 4 pints per order,  you almost had to swim to get to the bar it was that busy,

 

I have never seen so many students looking green.

 

 

 

Cinzano Biancos! Can I deny everything? (Then onto the Mall after)

I was at Stockton sixth form at the time.

 

I seem to remember it was a Christmas order they screwed up.  So for the months of Januauar and Feb they sold the beer s at 10p.

 

My girlfriend at school, her father was partners with Javed Ahmed (the dude who owned the Mall and Busters then transformed the Macmillian Country Club to Club M). I think i was 16 the first time in the Mall.

 

Many a night in the Mall but also spend a lot of the time in the Arena, Club M, The Empire and Back to Basics in Leeds.

 

I was a bit of a raver 😀

Didn't like Javid, ruined The Kirk by taking its business away (we got about), Christmas in The Kirk most years, summers we went to The Mall, gave MacMillans a miss mostly.. but yes, from about age 16 to mid 20s.

 

Not sure we got the 10p pints that year though, though they ring a bell (might be that I did get them and just cannot remember)
