We were 16 when we first went in there, Madge used to serves us four or five pints all evening, as we left she always said with a twinkle in her eye "we don't serve underage, don't come back again" we didn't until the week after and went in and the same scenario ensued. If I remember correctly she played this little game as coppers used to go in for after hours there.

Madge had the gift of the gab, she was a bus conductress for the west riding for long enough, and with her size she was big enough to sort out any bother as well.

We've gone a fair bit O/T here, can anyone create a thread along the lines of Old Wakefield (or some such title) and move these memories over? Might be interesting.

To get the thread back on topic
Did anybody go in the original old Alfred Moodies when it had the sawdust down and spitoons? Moodies and The Old Globe down Westgate were always good places to find a quite corner if you were a bit young.

Went to the original Moodies plenty of times, can't remember the old Globe. I'm gonna start an independent thread on this particular topic, if not allowed please delete it, if not could a mod move some of these off topic references into the new thread, cheers.

I remember the Old Globe, it was at the bottom of Westgate where the retail park is now Jinnjer, and yes Moodies in the seventy's with the spittoons and the sawdust, happy days, I could go on for ever
