Tivoli Amusement arcade

Does anyone EVER go in this place? How does it stay open? Or is it a front for something else.......;-)

hmmm.. I know when my brother came to stay a couple of years back he used to while away his days in there. But then, he had a problem

I think some of the premises must have had generous lease deals which allows them to subsist for a while longer while businesses which put a lot of effort in (such as G&B expanding) get treated pretty harshly by landlords

Although we may be treading on dodgy ground... dullwitch would not be the first person to harbour such suspicions.

*waits for Louisa to suggest it's actually one of the last truly working-class, pensioner friendly social places left in an otherwise horribly over-gentrified ED*

[SeanMacGabhann]

I confess, dear reader, I laughed at that.

I hope it's not seen as picking on Louisa tho... maybe we could start a thread where everyone posts as another forumite?

Off topic - sorry

[Brendan]

What?s actually in there? Fruit machines? One armed bandits?

? Tow armed bandits with hankies tied over their mouths and tommy guns?

If you go to the rear of the Tiv', and pull three times of the arm of the machine on the far left-hand side, it opens-up a secret passageway.

Does it lead to a back-room filled with whores, drugs and all-night card games?

No.. only to Iceland, unfortunately (the store, not the country)

[Asset]

we could have the next forum bash at the arcade

[Jah Lush]

Only if it's filled with whores, drugs and all nights card games...oh and a well stocked bar of course.

I've never been in this place, and probably never will, but to be fair, I've never seen any trouble there like fights outside... More than can be said for most of the bars on "the strip"!

Technically, an establishment needs 'customers' to have any chance of a fight breaking-out.

That's why things are so peaceful at the vale recently... I did wonder.
