To be fair I only know the area between the A5, the giant metal miner, the main shopping street and Streets Corner as that is the way the bus takes me to work. I'm sure that there are nicer bits. :wink:

My pub is right by the 'iron man' on the island. It's nice (apart from the drugs, raids, fights and scutty clientele!!)

To be fair I've sorted a lot of the trouble out with my 'soft' approach!! Like I said, a perfect fiso meet venue!!

Sounds a bit dodgy if it's Spiny's neck of the woods :wink: I hear that even the wheelie bins are on bricks and the dogs have to hang round in pairs :D

So, Ton, you not at the boozer in Smethwick anymore :?:

No :shock: got a much nicer one now!! It's not easy running a pub next to Winson Green prison, I can tell ya!! Most of the regulars were either on their way in, or had just been released!! Plenty of trouble to keep a ruffian like me occupied!! I got out of there with my life and all limbs in tact so I think it was a job well done!! :lol:

Ton's old pub used to be my lunch time boozer when I worked in Smethwick. It was OK lunchtime for food and a game of pool. Then one of the lads had a leaving do and about four of us walked in wearing suits late(ish) on a Friday night. It was very intimidating and our pints were rapidly downed. They wanted to turn it into a casino but the residents objected because it may attract the wrong sort :shock: .

Could be quite an adventure for a FISO meet - my office was next door to a brothel. You could always tell when the punters got them mixed up - they would squirm in embarrasment if they entered our reception. All the working girls drove really flash cars and the punters were well off too, not that I paid too much attention to the seedy side of life :wink: . The house opposite was used as a cannabis farm and the just up the top of was a massage parlour which got shut down due to people trafficking from Eastern Europe. Oh, and there's a Greggs too 8-)
