…Has it shut? What's happened to Pete's Bar? I used to frequent it often (bringing along the Pig for company). Where's it gone? The pig's in mourning. I'm okay thoughgrin

If it open mine's a large one - G & T that's is.

You could always open it up yourself BOH, as Pete seems to have gone AWOL

Only thing is, I am not sure about the pig. Elf & SAFETY and all that !!
grin

Nonu Sun 03-Aug-14 11:25:01

BOHS BAR has a certain ring to it !

I spoke to Pete a little while ago and he is taking a sabbatical from the pub business for a while but he is still enjoying his football and a pie & a pint and sends his love to everyone.

It certainly does Nonu grin
May I be first to put my own glass behind the bar.

Maybe Pete'll come out of retirement if there's a risk of the old place being turned into a Wetherspoons? It's the only 'local' watering hole around for miles (not counting of course Soops over the other side of town). I miss my pinta port and packa pork scratchings (don't mention that to the Pig thoughgrin)

Our quiet little seaside town has just acquired a 'Withies' Good thing/bad thing.........?

time will tell.

Nonu Sun 03-Aug-14 20:13:05

I think BOHS BAR is the new venue for the in crowd!!

Don"t think Pete will mind , he will just be happy that a new owner, will make a go of it .

The other thing of course is that we hopefully will still have the lovely GLAM providing the bar snacks !

NINA be the first in line with your glass !!

Hi Bo kindly leave the pig outside! I will be bringing the pork pies round in a few minutes and I don't want to upset him.Meanwhile I will have a Guiness [it's your round.]

boheminan Sun 03-Aug-14 21:16:31

What say then gals? give the old place a lick of paint - get rid of the spitoons, get in some pork scratchings and give it a go? (what happened to the firemen by the way?)

rosesarered Sun 03-Aug-14 21:18:24

They had a fire to go to.
Yes, let's get started, we can still do this without Pete.

boheminan Sun 03-Aug-14 21:22:31

could be (Little)BO-PETE'S Bargrin ??

Nonu Sun 03-Aug-14 21:35:45

You, are a monkey youBOH but I like you

grin,

boheminan Sun 03-Aug-14 21:41:56

Okay…I'm up for it - I miss Pete's Bar. It's not every pub one can into leading a pig on a string and no-one looks twice. Name suggestions please???

Nonu Sun 03-Aug-14 21:45:42

Well to my mind I thought it was a done deal BOHS BAR, don"t be coy sweetie !!

Ana Sun 03-Aug-14 21:51:25

With an apostrophe, please! shock We don't want to be boycotted by the pedants...(of which I am one, I might add! grin)

Nonu Sun 03-Aug-14 21:57:09

WELL I'm not , and anyway it gives it , IMO a quirky ring

boheminan Sun 03-Aug-14 22:07:09

BoPeeps - geddit? Bo Peeps (as in people)grin solves the apostrophe problem

Ana Sun 03-Aug-14 22:11:01

Well done, boheminan! [tongue sticky-out emoticon to you, Nonu]

boheminan Sun 03-Aug-14 22:19:06
