Slarti Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Quite a number of pubs from The Charleston to the bottom of New Street in them days. I'm not sure if we went Moss St direction, even the top of New St was a blur. I make it 12 by the time you get to Kennedy's (Charleston, Tannahills, Clachan, Balnagowan, Craig Dhu, Wellington, Tea Gardens, Afton, Corkers, George, the one that's now Andys Chippie, Kennedy's). Maybe even popping into Rowan Street for the Dooslan and whatever the place opposite it was called to make it 14. 9 are still (open) pubs.

Ya big girl's blouse. [emoji23]Centurion? Dunno. Neither I or Cookie were about when the Antonine wall was being built so he would have been dead by the time we were born.

He now lives in Calif. I last bumped into him on Earls Court Road in 1970.
