My favourite pub
Back in the day it was the White Horse on Standish gate and it's good to see that the old pub's name is back and the sign of the White horse is above the door again

I will always have fond memories of the Old Still in Wolverhampton. Situated in King Street in the town centre, this was the first pub that I ever went in as a young 16 year old with 'Som', way back in the early seventies.
UTM: You remember Som. How's he doing these days?

Crofters in the sixties. We'd all be wearing suits, and for the first half hour on a Saturday night we'd all sit round with a pint of Walker's Bitter reading the 'Pink' which always had the report of the Wigan game we'd watched that same afternoon. Then off to the Clarence, then the Bier Keller, finishing off in the Pacific Ocean for a Special [with fried rice and the egg on top!] Happy days!

From the young ones on here the DD that Broady refers to is Double Diamond not Direct Debit

The old White Swan was the best, when Ken and Eileen had it. But it could never beat the Trav's for quality. I can still hear Bernard's scouse tones...

I feel sorry for most landlords these days. They're not there long enough to get to know their customers

There are just three pubs left in the centre of Pem. It's any ones guess how much longer they will hang on. Takeaways have far more customers than these pubs. It's a shame really but a sign of the times.

Not been in a pub for years, I wonder how many pubs in pem still offer their customers after hours?

Don't need after time, just apply for a later license.
Agreed with I-spy

My first pub was the Amberswood hotel known as the little hole, there used to be around a dozen of us frequented this before we went on the Wigan trawl and never had trouble after that when a few of us started courting we went in different pubs ours was the Lancashire union now known as the la cava many happy days or nights spent in that watering hole
