Lets at least pretend to be consistent on here please. No way in hell would the Allams grovel to anyone.
If I was a dollar billionaire, I'd be unlikely to rock up at Brough station for a meeting with the Allams. I think I'd probably lash out on a car and a driver.

Like Marvin Gaye and also the Slits, I heard it on the grapevine that an imposing motorcade of Range Rovers bearing Chinese folk lunched at the KC yesterday. One presumes mustard shirt and ehaw were on hand to host them and probably bill them for the food afterwards. It's been a long 24 hrs and it's astonishing that mustard shirt hasn't found anyone to give it away to. You don't think he could have been lying, do you?
This is probably on the wrong thread, but when I left school I worked in town, so would get off the train at Brough and go straight into the Ferry. They had a great 'Galaxians' which was always free (not in price) at that time. That and a few pints of Mansfield bitter. We knew how to live out in the sticks. As I write this, I'm trying to work out how it managed to be open at 6pm ish with the Draconian licencing laws in the early 80's?
Whielocks in Leeds did when I lived there in the 1960s. Later it was worth going home to Brid as in the summer months they were allowed to open until 11pm during the summer as they were on holiday and should be allowed to stop up late. It is hard to understand why people opted to go on holiday to Europe when they could indulge in such late night debauchery 2 nights a week in summer.
We were lucky in seaside towns. When they first decided allowing pubs to open in the afternoon wouldn't lead to the end of civilisation as we know it it didn't apply to Sundays except in seaside holiday areas.
