chingford Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 So when you planning your next bevvy in the Tudor and the Park? OK, Smarty-pants.... whit part of "when they existed" did ye no get? And OK Bongo, that was a good drink we had in there a fortnight next Tuesday - but all this temporal-slip bevvying is doing my head in - as well as my liver... The lighthoose is the kinda wee jewel of a pub (if it still existed NOW) that had totally gone out of fashion by the late 60s. Nae buddy lived near it. The Mills were doomed - nae passin workers. It would be crammed these days. Mainly wi folk waiting for the annual Camra festival, I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) Drank in there plenty of times, nothing better than coming off the hill and straight into the pub for a refreshment. Ahhhhhhhh the good old slim days And molested sheep s©trewn across the hillsides. Edited to say:- Allegedly. I remember The Ambulance Man's distinct lack of humour when it comes to such matters and his misunderstanding of smileys.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 The Park Bar, from what I understand, was a fúcking mental place. Where else in Paisley would you get someone strolling into the pub, pulling out a gun, shooting a guy in the face at point blank, disappearing into the night and “no ne saw a thing, officer� Top boozers in the locale:- N=Stag’s Heid (does that count as north?) S=Tannies – feckin’ smashin’ wee boozer. E=Kelburne W=Bar Point – in particular for the comedy nights they used to have C=Wee Howff. Or mibbe Malarky’s. Or The Bull. Cannae decide. National:- N=Ma Cameron’s – Sheep City S=Harbour House Hotel – Portpatrick E=The Last Drop – Edinburgh W=The Commercial – Campbeltown C=The Drover’s – Ardlui. Fúck me, that’s a big bear!

I dunno. I never saw a thing.... I almost picked that, too but it's no Ardlui, it's Inverarnan. Ardlui train station is just down the road from it.

There's an Ardlui Station just down the road fae the Ardlui Hotel. There's NO Inverarnan Station. The Drover's, as it's now known, is in Inverarnan - miles north of Ardlui.
