lysandernovo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Can't help but feel it's all a bit sad. Sat , perhaps,with a couple of mates, ( in a similar bubble) having a cig and drinking a beer in a wooden shed? Not my idea of a night out...That said, my youngest daughter-in-law and her husband, have a brick built extension complete with a dedicated bar....Still, I'd sooner have gone to my local had a pint, a cig and a natter with other like minded blokes...Sadly, like Sheffield History its a tale from the past! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History dude Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Saw an article the other day that around six Sheffield pubs will not (never) be reopening after the lockdown is lifted in July. A few others will open at a later date, due to making them safe. So if one of them was his local, he's dodge a bullet there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysandernovo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 My reflections were of a by-gone age...sadly missed by some....never known by others and even a few thought "good riddance"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat's a fantastic guy and a genuine enthusiast. He certainly won't be sad in his new pub - wish I had the space to do the same. Meck do and mend.

lysandernovo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 By definition ,how can a private, unlicensed, drinking "hole" ever be a "Public House"? It is what it is... a shed,.. furnished to represent something it is not...That's why I think it all rather sad....but, hey, I am a traditionalist who regrets the demise of so many of the "pubs" I once knew and loved!

The secret is to fantasize, the secret is to smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysandernovo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Really....in my 77 years I have seldom, if ever, found "fantasizing" to have any lasting benefit prefering to deal with "reality"...but thanks for letting me into a "secret"!😌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
