And no I haven’t been drinking...well only coffee

That’s probably why I’m not functioning very well!

You ran out if Limoncello ?

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

No
Wally’s was back of station, and New York was further down

To be honest I’m not convinced it even existed, but Mrs Tash claims it was where Horners pub is now

Isn’t horners. The old regent cinema???

Was it also run as a club/disco around a similar time too? (Arthur’s? early 80’s?)

They both showed "X certificate" films, which would be called "soft porn" nowadays. A friend used to watch them back in the 70s.
