NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Anyone frequent this place in the early 70s. I worked for EMGAS out of Beeston showrooms at the time. Working down that end of town I popped in for a pint one lunch time nearly pooped mysen when I found out what pets he kept. SWMBO's just read me an article which brought it flooding back.

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Bear, Puma, Lion, and various other exotic animals all kept in the old stabling round the back off the place. Trouble was some off them used to escape with great regularity, the puma cleared the bar one day as it took a stroll through the pub. All got stopped when one of his primates tried to get in next doors bedroom window one morning. Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
