He unplugged the fruit machine, put it on a barrow he borrowed from the greengrocer outside, and walked out with it. Nobody knows who he was

It may have even been Pumphol [smiley:crazy]

The Connaught Tavern E16. Custom House. Connaught Road.- Formerly a typical docker's pub sited outside the Victoria Dock gates. this listed building was refurbished in 2003 and renamed 'The Fox@Connaught' and is a bar/restaurant.

Just before the docks closed for good it became a pub for the pikey community, whose last mob fight involved the crew of a Dutch cargo ship moored in the docks. 

There were some big fackers on that vessel !!

The funny story about that night...

My mates brother was 'clearing house' with a pool cue when this little bloke named Ronnie caled him :

'Ted, Ted, get this coont off me, he's breaking me ****g ribs.'

This dutch bloke, about 6-4,  had Ronnie (about 5-6) against the wall, and was doing his best to punch his ribs out. Ronnie had his hands on the blokes head to try and take the leverage away from the punches.

Teddy hit the dutch bloke across the back with the pool cue, but he didn't budge.

Not giving up on his quest to break all Ronnies ribs, he carried on.  So Teddy took the lid from the piano and whacked the dutch bloke round the head with it.

It was a job well done as Teddy dragged the big facker outside the door and left him there. 

When he came back in Ronnie was screaming in pain. Teddy had hit the bloke round the head before Ronnie had time to move his fingers out of the way 

Ronnie, now nicknamed ' Fingers',  was in the pub the next day with dressings on his hands and had to keep asking others to roll his ciggies for him [:laugh:
