An English man walks into a Glasgow pub...

[rl4engc]

Bolton. Summer 2000. "The George" pub, may now be long demolished.

A group of us graddies, high on success after results day, go on a pub crawl and decide to try this always "off-limits" pub (strength in numbers).

Grown men, two bottles of alcopops in hand, dancing to Karaoke. Guy stood at the bar with a plastic bag full of car stereos. This is ~2pm.

One of us goes for a slash. Another guy in there.

"Is this your first time in here?"
'Yes.'
"Is it your last?"

Cue tactical withdrawal. "We made our excuses and left" one might say.

Still there, not a pub anymore, listed building I think. Was opposite Bolton Great Moor St station, closed 1966 or so. I was a nipper then.

The George was an old mans pub, the Griffin further down was hard, and the Ancient Shep., never been in either.

I got twatted with a pool cue in the Tramways in Blackburn rd, first visit, I’d literally done nothing, but out of order that...
