Nahhh, Flood….I never suited a smock and the cart’s off the road while the horse stars in panto 😀

No need to apologise or you’ll be setting a dangerous trend!

Linking this with another thread (Snapper’s punk one) the White Lion was also Slimey Toad from Johnny Moped’s local for years and years.

Chin, chin

Not as local as it was while growing-up, but still only 3 miles away. This is the pub where I bought my first round at 15 and spent most Friday and Saturday nights until Uni.

For the RAF buffs here it’s halfway in between Kenley and Biggin Hill, and only 5 miles south of Croydon. So now you know why I grew up loving aviation!

The White Lion in Warlingham. Hasn’t altered much since this pic as the oldest part (to the left of the pic) dates back to something like 1655.

More recent shot:

Merry Christmas one and all!

Yip, check out the knackered Jags flags hanging from the roof. The original Harry Wraggs.:D

Here’s my local, The Strathmore Bar on Maryhill Road in Glasgow

Wasn’t this once owned by Davy McParland of Partick Thistle fame??

My local has always been the Trinity Arms, Trinity Jersey, though not really my favourite. Can’t say I have a favourite pub.

ye cheap beer. Whats that! Something not to be found in Iceland.

Guess you are right about that!

If the beer was cheaper you might.

Here it is from my usual vantage point at the corner of the bar. That’s Albert and Alec having a fly lunchtime pint or four…;)

Here’s my local, The Strathmore Bar on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. It used to be part of a tenement building, but as is the Scottish tradition, they knocked down the rest of the building and kept the pub.:D

Maryhill for the uninitiated, is where the TV show Taggart is set and is a charming liitle suburb located between the refined, upmarket West End of Glasgow and the rough and reckless North side where Ali Babba once trained the forty thieves.

The Strathmore (or Strathie) is situated next to the local fire station and across the road from a large residential village belonging to the University of Glasgow. The clientele therefore is a heady mix of artisan tradesmen, students and psychotic axe wielding maniacs. The latter being most prevalent on dominoes night.

Tuesday is a quiet night, Wednesday is quiz night, Thursday is bingo (for the ladies) Friday and Sunday are karaoke and a Saturday normally features some form of live entertaining such as a musical turn or simply all out wrestling and chair tossing.

The Strathie is run by a lovely young blonde bar owner named Senga. Senga’s deputy is the equally lovely Lindsay who kicks ass for a living. The other barstaff are Yvonne (x2), Frances and Billy who is also Senga’s brother.

A warm welcome awaits you in the Strathmore Bar !

Have I sold it to you yet ? 😀

Goodie goodie goodie.

You don’t need your own web space, as long as you have piccies on your hard drive you can attach them using this web space.

You hit the browse button below the reply box and look for your photo, as long as it’s under 100k then you just double click on it and hit reply to attach it to your post.

I’ll take a photo of my favourite local this afternoon so that you can see where I waste all of my spare time. 😀
