Tim Martin has run out of beer

and exactly as predicted, some people are blaming covid, rather than brexit.

 

[Mottie]

You mean people are blaming Brexit instead of Covid.

I was in a busy Spoons in Coventry this afternoon... I had a beer. Seemed to be lots of beer

Have you been to Coventry? It's a strange place. It has 3 Witherspoons. Miss mash of everything else.

I lived in Coventry for 3 years, but that was in the 90s, pre spoons I think. Only pub I really liked was The Shakespeare on Spon Street. Apparently still a good pub. Another near the Cathedral was good, Golden Cross. I do remember going to one cheap pub with a mate on a Sunday lunch, they did cheap pitchers of beer. Had 4 pints of something strong then slept the rest of the day.

The curries were amazing. Quick Stop Curry was the best, on the way towards the Stoke ward I think.

Odd town. Shame so much of it was bombed. If you go into the cathedral, right at the back there is a little chapel room, or something. In it is a sculpture my best mate's dad made - sort of ironwork - he was an artist, died of cancer too young a few years back

That's what I thought..... blame the Germans..... it's really y old . Then 1950s new town look with a bit of modern scattered omoungst it all... very multicultural a few down and outs.

My brother was a student at Birmingham Poly in early 90s, lived on Bearwood Rd in Hagley. Seemed to exist on baltis - though I must admit there were some great balti houses. Some real spit and sawdust places - Formica tables, tv on in the corner, bring your own beer - but great baltis. Perry Bar Balti House seemed to be favourite. Had a few great nights on the lash in Brum.
