Digs Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think it's indicative of the way people go out nowadays and how that constantly evolves. For example, when my parents were young you had to go out at 6pm as everything shut by 10pm. When I used to go out, you had a couple in the house, then out about 9-930pm to some pubs in the town, then off to Lourenzo's/Ballroom at about 1030. If you didn't go then you'd be queuing outside all night, then kicked out at 2amNow, folk still do the pre-drinks, but they go straight to the clubs at about 11-1130, and they don;t chuck out nowadays until 3am sometimes 4am if there is a special night on. If you go round the town nowadays, the folk in the pubs are from about 30-50 years old. There is barely any, if any at all, 18-23 year olds that the town was full of when I used to go out.

scottyboy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 My memory tells me Pernod and blackcurrant or snakebite or even lager n lime followed by some erection section music by the likes of The Commodores. Failing that it was solo towards the baked tattie van for some exotic cuisine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
