nonnaB 4,897 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 #46 You brought back a few memories oztalgian. I worked part time in a Berni Inn Sawyers in fact and my mum worked at the Chateau as a waitress. I worked in the bar and must have opened hundreds of Mateus Rose, along with all the various reisling and hock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 We used to hit the Chateau just before closing time on a Friday night in the early 70's. I think two waitresses were Margaret and Ann. We always got extra cobs and apple pie at the end of the night. My mates flat mate worked at the Sawyers Berni in the mid 60's . Linda was her first name. We used to get free Russian coffees at closing time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,326 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Fly2 #56 Now you've done it Fly2. I will have to have and Irish Coffee before I go to bed, light on the coffee but liberal with the Jamesons or Bushmills which ever we have in the drinks cupboard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,897 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Sounds a bit like my mum giving you extra cobs Fly2. Her name is Madge and she worked in Fannys bar I think it was called. I worked in Sawyers in '67-68 thereabouts. I worked downstairs with Cindy the spanish girl and Jean. Cant remember Linda but maybe she worked in the other restaurant.

Oztalgian 3,326 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 nonnaB and Fly2 Thank you I had completely forgotten about the Sawyers Arms. Went in there occasionally as well as the Brittania but used the Cricketers, the Chateau and the Hutt more often. You never know we may have crossed paths in the sixties.
