Watched the Saturday lunchtime football in there and there was a decent turn out. It just seemed to be a bit less depressing in there than it has been recently.
I'm hoping it picks up permanently, as I don't like the Dairy.
Our cat loved to scratch her claws on the side of our settee - shredded it to bits. So we bought one of those nice scratching posts for cats ... she ignored it completely. Cats are great.
I used to go in there occasionally (in the early/mid 1990s). The carpet was always at the next stage on from "sticky" ...
The place had a certain charm though, and a decent pint of Guinness.
I've also gone off Petek a bit. It seemed to lose something after the refurb.
Also, their lamb shish seems to have gone from "fantastic" to "just ok". Maybe I've just been unlucky.
