Slippy me and my mate used to run dogs at Portsmouth in the 70s/80s we were only young about 18 i think, and i remember
my mate asking his trainer if he wanted a drink, well the trainer had never been seen in the bar before but you should have seen my mates face when he looked up and said " thats kind i will have a large port and brandy ". |

One of the pleasures of living in a remote village is that most of the things whose passing is being lamented here still go on.

It was on the edge of Harehills, where a lot of Leeds hooligans lived. As said above it was a black pub (pool and adulterated hash upstairs) and there were only a handful of black football hooligans in Harehills, so pretty safe. Once crack cocaine hit the streets the young hash dealers were soon users and started forcing people to buy painted plasticine, henna etc under threat of violence. It got demolished.

Black Label and Red Barrel on draught.
Cardboard backing which held say 20 packs of nuts and the staff would tear one off. 1/2p or 1/2d coin, that a customer couldn't be bothered with, lying in a film of frothy "beer" on the bar. A proper slops tray. |

back in the 70s i worked in a pub part time they had stainless steel buckets that they would pour the slops from the draught beer trays and anything left in the bottom of glasses and it would be emptied down the sink at the end of the night , it was a local pub to me and they used to get a few mates in most nights ,for a laugh when a mate ordered a pint i said ill bring it over to him and scooped up a pint of slops out of the bucket and took it over to him ,what the fook is that he said ,oh its a new beer we are testing out its only 10 p a pint(a pint would have been about 40p in those days ) i said let us know what ya think of it ,incredably the fooker liked it and ordered a few more pints during the night although he did stat that none of the pints tasted quite the same

When I was 16 or 17 so around 1968/9 I had a part-time job working in a pub in the evenings. When you pulled a pint you always had to to it on a metal tray. Periodically any overflow from the pint would be poured into a stainless bucket. At the end of the night the buckets would be taken down to the cellar and using a funnel poured back into one of the mild barrels. |

By:
Most people drank mild as it was cheaper than bitter.

Used to ba able to get a daily record/Sunday mail at the weekends in the boozer, paperboy would hit the pubs about the last hour, seen many a punter having another pint waiting on the paperboy to get the 1st edition of next day’s paper. The boys must have made a right few quid in tips!
