This probably won't interest anyone other than @super_ram http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-23225105

 

 

It will be great to have a pint of good old Shippo's, it was a bit like marmite you either love it or hate it. For my part I loved it but it had to be kept right by a good landlord otherwise it was rank.

 

Anyone else remember Shippo's it was brewed at Basford and bit the dust in the 70's I think.

 

Welcome back old friend.

Ooh,Super will be pleased,you've probably made his day Tony.

I think it's pretty cool, the building had a blimp over it awhile back. I wonder why?

Not that I'd bother trying it, beer isn't my drink. It's important none the less especially when someone known locally, returns in such fashion. It's a bit like comparing Wham bars for to me. I just hope you guys aren't disappointed!

never heard of them, if you pair like it that is great.

You're too young Liam you have to be an old fogey like me and @super_ram, when I was your age I was drinking Shippos and mini skirts and hot pants were all the rage. Mind you I never looked good in either

You don't like beer? Super Ram hasn't done a very good job bringing you up has he?

What is your tipple Joe? Just so I know what to order when I buy you a drink in the MLSB.

Granny and me used to go in The Devonshire Arms in Alfreton before we were married.This was a Shippo's house and served a great pint. As with all beer it had to be kept well ( Offilers, the Derby brew was another) When we started going in pubs ,my mates and I soon found out the best places for a decent pint.

 

As for Joe and my other son,Will, well what can I say .It's their choice what they drink.(They don't know what they're missing).At least they drink sensibly-quantity not quality!

Thanks for letting me know,Tony

I like things like WKD, Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Breezer, Kopparberg. (I don't drink often though - not very often at all)

I also like Whiskey, prefer it on it's own but don't mind it with ice. Proper Vodka (typically Russian) and I have a thing for Taboo. I can't blame GrannyPie for that, I'm really glad she introduced it to me and it's possibly the only one listed above I'd drink repeatedly. I tend to change between

I need you to come to Rayo with me Dad, tickets been paid for. It was originally for @Joe Jones but he can't make the game now, so hopefully you will come to the lane with me again.

Tuesday 23rd July?I'm at the hospital the next day but its not 7.30 this time  so I may condescend to accompany you. At least it wont be as cold as last time.

I hope you do and I believe that is the correct date.

Lovely out yesterday, you will enjoy it.

Let me know how much the ticket cost so that I can re-imburse the other Joe.I'll be able to give my honest assessment of Notts with 1st hand knowledge .

Who are Rayo,anyway? Is this Notts last match before the  new season?

No, I've paid for it.

Rayo Vallecano *face palm*

I don't expect you to pay,,though it's very nice of you to offer.

Oh come on now, give over. I know you don't but your doing me a favour!

How am I doing you a favour?

Now there is a name I haven't heard for awhile, I always thought it were a shame that the brewery closed down and disappeared. Famous local landmark, used to go past regularly between making trips to and from Bulwell.
