- Looking back at my younger years when I still lived in my home town of Rainham in Kent. My local pub was the White Horse and I spent a lot of great nights there. Anyways enjoy the vid and don't forget to tell me about your favourite pub in the comments.
During my younger years, I frequented quite a few different pubs which all held a similar attraction in that they all stayed open to regulars way past closing times. One pub (Kings Arms ) the landlady would bugger off to bed and told her customers that if the till was short, we'd get no more lock-ins (it never was short ) Many weekends, I'd either fall asleep on a bench in the corner and resume drinking next day or climb a ladder against the back wall of the pub to get into a side street before staggering off home through an old disused cemetery. I bore a scar on my shin from being chased through the cemetery by plod, caused by tripping over an old gravestone, trying to catch me . I was quite well known by plod as I'd often give up trying to stagger home and simply kip down in bus stops /phone boxes or even a privet hedge if it was nasty weather (woke up with fecking snow on my face once ) Most of the pubs I started my drinking career in no longer exist, I've also tried crossing the fields (the pub used to back onto the field ) taking a shortcut home, and ended up walking round and round for a couple of hours as I'd got lost in the snow (by field, it was only a 10 min walk to my house ) When I'd fallen out with my parents, I set up a tent near this pub & I was even allowed to use the landlords domestic facilities to get showers. This pub also supplied most of my meals and I was upset to discover it no longer is a pub. I eventually gave up drinking when I was on my way to town one day & a total stranger commented "nice to see you sober for once " I didn't have a problem with alcohol (other than not being able to afford it ) I just preferred being pissed 😆
But when it is opens that will be my crazy pub
The pub is now close but it's getting stripped out and refurbished
