I remember Kitty and Jimmy, and, as I have related before, was in The Inn with my parents on the night they left and my Mam was in tears at Jimmy's farewell speech. I worked there in later years for Dick and Lilian Seddon. I wish pubs were as civilised today.

They are Irene, go in some Weatherspoons lovely and clean with not many rowdy young males about. But I take your point.

You are having a laugh!!!!! Go in The Moon in Wigan;full of prams; screaming kids; screaming parents, can't say mothers; and other undesirables!!! What happened to a decent pint in the afternoon? You could go in the Park, or Market Hotel, meet traders etc? Not being subjected to a kindergarden of wha tthey noe say ADH!!!!!!
