00:00The old pub crawl from Hillsborough all the way into town is null and void now, it just doesn't exist.
00:08The whole of Hillsborough, you know, all the way along the road was slided into pubs.
00:14And town as well, you know.
00:16Like Division Street's still got some decent pubs.
00:19I know the landlord of the f***ing Barravale house.
00:22Landlord at Fulham.
00:25My life, because of that, money.
00:29It's Wetherspoons left and centre, isn't it?
00:32There's so many of the damn things.
00:35I like to come and have something to eat here because it's cheap and cheerful.
00:40But it's not the best in the world.
00:42If you can't afford to run a landlord's inkpot, I mean, I used to run a shop.
00:50But there's no atmosphere in any of the pubs.
00:53Just meals.
00:55There's no darts, no jukebox.
00:58There's no paint cards.
01:02There's just no atmosphere in any of the pubs at all.
01:05The way I used to go, I used to drink a lot when I was younger.
01:09You know, at the town.
01:11I loved Parson's Cross.
01:13But they were pubs.
01:15We were a pub.
01:17And there were a lot of life there.
01:19I should say this stays the same.
01:21I go out for meals, but not just for a drink.
01:24I meet friends.
01:26That's why.
