As a youth me and some mates went for a drive around the city and somehow ended up at the Big Windsor, we popped in for a quick one, but some of the locals didn't like us being there, in their pub. When I say they didn't like us being there, I mean we weren't too keen on returning at any time in the future.
The Dusty Forge for a pool game,needless to say we lost but kept our teeth.
My pfe match pint(s) was The Cornwall....and before walking to CCFC I used to get a F&C from just up the road on the corner.......much better that the Milleium Fish bar opposite....
I’ve heard The Cornwall may not reopen.Quote:

Drink in Trowbridge one night. Go on, I dare you......
Went to the Custom House once when I had a season playing for Rumney Rangers in the Cardiff Combination. Cardiff Dracs used it as their post match clubhouse. Interesting place even at 5.30 on a Saturday afternoon. One of the really friendly ladies who frequented the place asked one of our lads if he was interested in some business and he told us "How did she know I was a decorator"?
The benefits have having false teeth just pop them in your pocket for safe keeping:hehe:Quote:

I asked the barman if he had been in and once I mentioned his name the place relaxed a bit.

I walked in , the place went silent, I went to the bar and ordered a pint. I stood looking at bottle labels trying not to catch anybody’s eye.
I gave up and waited for him outside.
The place gave me the heebiejeebies
We went to the Canton Cross instead.
Never went in there again and I wouldn’t if you paid me
Never dared enter the Dusty Forge. Had no problem in the pub down by the bridge though. (is that still Ely or Fairwater?) Same for the Vic and the Windsor in Barry. Was a regular in the Vic for a while. Had to mind your Ps & Qs though. And keep your head down.

It actually wasn't that bad. If you behaved yourself no one bother you.Quote:
