HeHasRisen Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I would imagine walking into that pub would be like when the two Americans walked into The Slaughtered Lamb in An American Werewolf In London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In it's heyday the Gun was one of the best pubs (drinks, customers and furnishings). The best times for me was when Ken Cooney was owner/landlord. I think moved to Dore around 1987 but I had moved away from Sheffield by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few places that still do Stones bitter , now just the Norfolk Dixon Lane and the( Frog and Parrot on Division Street rip off prices ) . Once all the proper pubs have gone then a part of English heritage goes with them . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first went in Gun, early 1966, on Friday and Saturday nights there was not a badly dressed customer in there , even had a Tuxedoed white gloved waiter! (well, best room the one on the right), men in suits and ties and no Demin in sight. It was a 'Free house' then and one choice they had was Newcastle Brown on draught. All of that not bad for a Sheffield 3 pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some women in the pub wear leggings and a vest, as though they are in a gym and the men in jogging bottoms and Stone Island shirts. It's not a good look at all and shows that they have no respect for their surroundings. I have seen the smokers outside Plusnet office, wearing jeans, trainers Tshirts, it's a poor image for the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Yes I really worry about what people in call centres wear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women's gym wear has become everyday wear But who is complaining cause bums look great in yoga pants A walk around ASDA is a lovely experience now and they don't smell like sweat and ass's anymore Edited September 3, 2023 by Jack Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true! And these middle class students that dress like chavs couldn't bang out a fly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
