Can't comment on the 70s, but disliked it from the early 90s onwards.

Although had some nice summer evenings outside, that's always been it's main pull.

She was awful. A total snob. They were wannabes, Loved being seen jumping out of a sports car right by the outside tables.

I know, I know. But I think she took a bit of a shine to me. Him on the other hand...

Jah you were lucky then, she never took a shine to me. Remember her giving me nasty looks, and also me having a row with her husband when he served me a sausage roll from the chilled cabinet near the door, and refused to heat it for me for whatever reason. Mr L's friend was kicked out too for putting the landlord in his place a few times. Horrible bloody people. Crap beer selection too.
