I discovered this pub in 1980. I remember my first visit. It was run by a good old boy called Lenny Palthorp. (Not sure if I got the surname correct). And he had a son also called Lenny. They had a boxing ring set up jn the beer garden.

Some ginger guy was fighting I remember

Not a nice guy it transpired. A pint of harp was 56p.a year later Jim and Pat took over. It was my local til 1985. I was in there most evenings. Good times.

    • Ah that was it.... When you realise politicians are only ever in it for themselves then everything starts to make sense.  
    • Yup. Student politics. https://bright-green.org/2012/04/09/democracy-and-direct-action-an-interview-with-edinburgh-universitys-new-student-president-james-mcash/
    • I wonder whether his political epiphany and renaissance will stretch to him using his real name - James Ashworth-McLintock - rather than the more proletarian 'McAsh'. To my mind, the only people who should have self-bestowed mononyms are very talented Brazilian footballers - Pele, Kaka, Ronaldinho - very talented female pop icons - Madonna, Shakira, Sonia - or Russian revolutionaries - Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. Sonia's greatest hits compilation, 'Greatest Hits', is out now on vinyl & CD through PWL Recordings.
    • Probably more helpful to ask simply whether McCash was affiliated with the Greens before becoming a Labour councillor. Trying to explain your thought process and unravel your fevered imagination (particularly when it comes to local politica) is the kind of thing that might require several years of psychoanalysis.
