I'm the landlady of this pub.Maybe you should get a life,you obviously don't have one.And learning to spell wouldn't be such a bad thing.If you want to go around giving pubs bad reviews,at least be man enough to show yourself.In reply to your messages,customers do not go behind my bar,I have staff to serve.As for 3 people being in for karaoke on a Saturday night,we don't have karaoke on a Saturday.Finally,the plaques were taken down,because 3 of the deceased were not regulars and most of the long time regulars didn't even know who the other 2 were.

Way back in the 70s, I and a lot of my peers used to effectively have 3 locals. Here, The Highland Laddie across the road and The Albert (now closed). It’s probably over 10 years since I’ve been in here prior to this visit. It used to be nicknamed the sixth form canteen as so many of us went in. This pub is one fairly small room with a pool table in one corner and a DJ stand in another. There was karaoke on the other night and the music was blasting out to 9 or 10 rather sad looking people. No real ale of course so I had a pint of Carling, yeuk! There’s a sign on the main door that says “Selling stolen goods in here is strictly prohibited, if caught you will be barred”. There’s a sign in the gents that says “Only one person to a cubicle, if you get caught you will be barred”. Oh it’s a class place is this now. I finished my pint of fizzy crap in double quick time and left. I doubt if I’ll ever call in here again. It’s pretty sad really as this was my local for at least 5 years.
