Ah, Ye Olde Axe.... There was I thinking I might never find another supposedly educated military type who knew of one of my favourite east end dives.....

My faith in OASC is restored......

Fantastic, another Olde Axe fan among the pruners! I did spend almost four years at OASC in one guise or another, but I'm not sure it had anything to do with my appreciation of this East End boozer! It was more like two beautiful sisters who danced there in 2005/06, I think.

Could not have been a particular good 'boozer' if you can remember the name!
Pub off Dale St, Liverpool - where there is activity under the table whilst you try and drink.

Unfortunately never went in the Kimberley. The Crown and Anchor was the Tatty Ton pub of choice in the late 80s particularly on a Sunday evening for the folk nights.

Saturday lunchtime sessions in The Beehive and all nighters there, and The Ladystreet Club in Helston hosted by V J B and John Hendry N, are largely responsible for my early dementia but boy were they fun!

Talking of mind wrecking beers in Helston, I do remember SPINGO. I think the landlord of the Blue Anchor can take the credit for many a FAA chum getting through training with that mind altering brew.

The Hover Inn at Incerlik by any chance for the tented Brit bar?? Became called something else after the Hover boys left and the tonka boys arrived. Used the same letters plus a few but was never very good at anagrams. Something to do with grapes wasn't it??

Boozer in Cocoa beach

Bigbluecar--you MUST go to Coconuts RIGHT on Cocoa Beach What memories!!

Oh, and the scruffs bar in the O mess at Lyneham WAS a great bar before some tw*t of a PMC (OC Admin) shut it down to "encourage interelations in the "main" (atmosphereless) bar".

The Boatyard, Barbados

Good hours, good company and twofers daily 1600-1800 and quite often again at 2200-2359. Not compulsory drinking but churlish not to !

Howling Dog

Herewith another subscriber to The Howling Dog. I swear that the roof was visibly moving the first time that we drove up. One inside you could see why....

Nearer to home, I am surprised that the cellar bar in the Druidston and the Swan at Little Haven have not featured yet. Time to redress this omission.
