I know nothing about the "well" but I was wondering if you had any idea when the pub might be ready to open? We're looking forward to seeing it up and running again and droping in for a few "sherberts"!!

When the Jodrell Arms re-opens will it be a "plastic pub" or will it be like in the good old days when Mr. and Mrs. Bailey ran it. You were not allowed in without a tie and there was no work clothes allowed. It was the sort of place you could take the lady in your life. There was no distraction from juke boxes,darts , games etc. just a gramophone playing background music , loud enough to hear but also quiet enough to talk. Ah, the good old days...................

We already have two pub's right up your street now Mr J.  No need to name them-ties optional, but don't always work with a fleece.

Cheers

Every time I go into the Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires it is packed full of beer drinkers and they don't have any of the "plastic pub " things.

The three stags -now there's a place to wear a tie and take a lady!--but only if she has lurchers, is into badger baiting-doesn't want ice in her drink or lemon or anything at all other than beer-even if she would like a shandy-it will be their choice of beer only and warm lemonade from a plastic bottle.

Dont even think about going in the back room or  Jeff will scowl and reluctantly throw a log on the fire-whilst muttering.  The toilets are worse than those in (remember the toilet test before dining) rural Morrocco.  The beer is more expensive than the Lowry hotel in Manchester so take plenty of cash or Hares to barter with. 

Was good on a Saturday night though when a band  and the Black Lurcher is on- the foods good as well-just don't wonder what the Lurchers do in the kitchen.  Very dog friendly-so friendly that if you don't adore a giant lurchers head on your lap  f off!--and SHUT THE DOOR behind you quickly so they don't get out! 

Do not ask for lager or use terms like ice and slice or spritzer-even the dogs will go quiet!

Cheers

Its nice to hear you all need somewhere to take 'your' ladies. I know this may come as a shock to some of you gentlemen,  but as lady  Im quite capable of taking myself into a pub , although  coming out of one sometimes poses a bit of a problem. I can even go to the bar and order and pay for a round of drinks
