Only just spotted this thread. Nice to see a Stellar in the last but one post. The blue and white car opposite the Imp is a Skoda Octavia.

That takes me back, my boozer (first as a customer then a barman) was further down the road; The Dog and Parrot although my time in the 90s it was the Tut n Shive. Had many a takeaway from Chilli, although when it was closed after a late night ‘Scotch John’s chippy for such delights as haggis and chips, sausage and chips, chips and chips… happy days Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arranged to meet the lads in the Dog once but they meant the Dog and Parrot and I went to the Barking Dog over the road by mistake and a massive transvestite with a big bushy moustache in a disco ball minidress asked me if I wanted a number on the domino card.

The two differing holes found on a cask, the tut being the tap aperture (well the removable bung element) and the shive being the uppermost part which is vented (tapped) and often pegged with a spike (hence the Tap and Spile chain of boozers).
