Go back 40 years or so and one of my then local pubs had a sign about dogs in the window
"All four- and two-legged dogs welcome if wearing leather"
It was very much a bikers pub..........
Over in Cambridgeshire there was a pub, its still there callled ther Tickel Arms run by the self styled squire of whittlesford Kim Tickel, who got inot a lot of bother with who was and was not allowed inot his boozer!.
I remember one night the house music system invariably Wagner, was turned down and he boomed out "Who has that battered old humber car out there"? rather sheepishly i admitted it was mine! He then boomed bring that poor dog therin here and i did, water was provided for our dog and he came back from the kitchen with some scraps of meat and gave them to her!
Fun asking where the toilets were, "Gents" was that way, "Whores harlots and hussesys" was thataway he'd boom out! The women oddley enough loved that bit like faulty towers it was, a real old boozer with a lot of character in abundance! One evening there was a well endowed bar maid there i was almost fixated on her chebs which she noticed so she pulled down her bra and said "here you can have a better view now" much to may red faced ambarresement!
Prince Charles when there for some late night parties when he was a student, it semed his mate Sigfried who was attired in Lederhosen was oftern in attandance!..
Happy days, its now a gastro pub, lost all of that but have taken a few ladies there food is excellent!..
