Sandals take on an old English pub

Yes, an old English pub the day after the smoking ban kicked in. Smokers staying at home, and non smokers staying home too because they thought the smoking ban was just a myth and weren't that fussed about pubs anyway.

Bet that place gets some pretty upmarket pub brawls too: "I say old chap, would you mind terribly not gazing upon my intended in that lewd fashion, or we may have to settle the matter with some fisticuffs. Queensbury rules obviously".

Apart from that it looks lovely, with a top notch selection of spirits and craft beers

If you go back there ten years from now it will be a mosque.

not been in a pub since the wife died, and very rarely in the last 10 yrs of her life. i made up for it in my formative years when i basically lived in the pub

You're not missing much Grant.

These days 'proper' pubs:

(a) don't smell of food cooking
(b) don't have screaming kids running around
(c) are usually boarded up

Often the 'proper' pub looks so dilapidated it's hard to tell if it's still open, and the little old bloke having a fag in the doorway is the only sign.
