The city centre was going that way anyway Ninj but surely places like City Road in Byker are still pubs?
I need to go to Newcastle again sometime. :-/ |

yeah i spose shields road is still full of boozers, the only one i ever went in was the Raby tell you what's mental, that old man pub in shieldfield opposite where Warner Bros was (used to be called Jackie Wilson or something adn then turned into the Stout Fiddler) is now called 'Moot' and has deejays playing every night of the week |

Lewisham used to be awash with small street-corner/back street type pubs, now almost all gone. Same with Deptford 
Even the once-mighty Goldsmiths Tavern has been "DJ-ed", and they play the music full fucking blast even though it's more than apparent that people are just trying to have a conversation.

The one little boozer left (might drop in there for a quaff or three later) that has survived omn my street makes a lot of its business selling coffee and snacks and shizzle.
Literally, the old fellahs that used to be in the pub all day have died or been bean-jayed out of the area.

I hate the whole stand-up-and-shout-to-your-mates-over-shitty-music-bars that have taken over town centres in the UK.
I used to love going down the local and having random conversations with the old boys at 1 in the afternoon. |

yeah, or just sitting in the pub all day playing cards and dominoes |

You can't play shove ha'penny in a "baaaah" can you.
