The regions roughest pubs.

[Billy Bests boot laces]

I had a family connection to the Page's. They were brought up on Kent Avenue, Leigh, near to my house. They were all top of the table bar brawlers. Terry was the toughest, followed closely by Jeff (Who had the most fights) and then George.

Terry died choking on his own vomit, after a heavy session, many years ago. Jeff has'nt touched a drop for over a decade, and George now lives in the flats opposite the Elms, and still drinks in there.

So did some pub in Tilbury which was quite a shock because I used to play pool in there! if I remember correctly, it had one of those round pool tables which fitted into a corner of the pub which used to evolve round when you wanted to take your shot.
I started a thread in a similar vain recently in the hope of finding a decent boozer to have a beer in before the game. Worrying that more pubs have been mentioned in the negative light !!!

Worlds End perhaps.

On a slightly different angle, was told the other day that my own local The Railway Bell in South Woodford is the inspiration for a certain dive on a BBC soap. By all accounts script writers have been seen pestering the locals for scandalous rumour!

Not a chance. The Bull were mere puppies compared to The Railway. Even The Barge was a rougher pub than The Bull.

Never. :raspberry:
