    Snappel - now I know where all the beer mats went to!! I looked at all their pubs in Manc in the early 70's when Tetley's was thinking of making a bid for them. They were not in a good state - but the ale was great and my judgement slightly blurred (ha ha). Mind you the beer was always good even in the pubs with sawdust on the floor!! Yep another brewery icon falls more's the pity.

    Nuclear War and the Pubs along Scottie:

    Hi guys (and of course girls). All police stations in the Pool and many pubs in Scottie Road (during the 50's and 60's) carried what was called the 'Four Minute Warning Device'. It was a small black box fitted to wherever one would fit those things. It 'bleeped' every two minutes. My job, as a copper on Scottie, if the blasted thing continued its howling and continuous bleeping, was to run around the streets blowing my whistle. Goodness knows where I would put the people. Except I was instructed to shout "Stay in your homes, Stay in your homes". Sounds like a French Farce doesn't it. The pub licencees who had these devices fitted would close their pubs and tell their patrons to go home immediately. I would be left along blowing my ruddy whistle. Nobody ever said to me what would happen to me though. LoL. But I don't think it ever happened. At least in my time on Scottie.
