Steamport Southport Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 On 31/07/2021 at 13:55, DavidB-AU said: Would be even worse than that considering there was once over 50,000 ale houses in Liverpool alone. With 45,000 breweries in the UK. Many houses were allowed to sell alcohol to the sailors, dockers and other workers. But you needed a licence costing two guineas, often paid for by the breweries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerhouse_Act_1830 Alehouses were literally houses that sold ale. Not all would have been legal and many were also gambling dens and brothels. Later the breweries took them over and built proper pubs instead as it was cheaper.

Steamport Southport Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A Relax Station innit? About £2000 worth of sofa. Sort of thing that young lads get when they are sharing a flat.

After several miles the cop pulled off at the access road to one of the villages. I thought to myself "Is he giving up that easily?" so carried on, as did many other drivers, at the speed limit. Sure enough the cop re-appeared from the exit road from the village to carry on as before. Looks like it was a well known tactic to try and trap unwary drivers. 2 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yep. I know there's a way of shortening it, but I'm a bit of a technophobe so don't know how to do it. Took me ages to work out how to post a link! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
