Crikey! Why did I only find this blog *after* I stopped living in Lancaster full time? Wot larks. And the Penny Bar makes the best G&T I’ve ever had (not being a beer drinker myself).
Hey, did I just read that they were going to close the Tate Liverpool because of funding problems? Hope I misread that.
Redbookish - Hello! Always nice to see exiles pop up here! Do you mean the Penny Bank? It’s lost its way a bit in the last couple of years and it’s been on the market for ages, but yes, I remember it in a much better phase as well. The man with a decent command of Latin phrases works at the White Cross on the canal.
Unbearable - This utterly Philistine Government we are landed with, who bend over backwards to protect the very rich whilst cutting everything else, have decided on some job cuts there. It’s not closing (yet) but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d like to gradually run it down.
Some of the most intelligent (well-read, overeducated, hilarious, etc.) people I have ever known are bartenders. Go to any good dive bar/rock club in any college town in America and you’ll find them. Come to think of it, maybe you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places? Maybe you need to date a barmaid?
Also, Philistine Government?! I thought you lived in Engl- oh, right. You guys have the same fuckwittery issues that we do.
I’d love to go out with a barmaid. I’ve met some lovely ones, in the course of my extensive research into their workplaces. I’m a bit out of the age bracket for most of them now but you never know.
We’re burdened with the most rightwing Govt we’ve had for a long time. Every day brings some new godawful plan. Norfork County Council closed its entire youth service the other day. The privatisation of the NHS is well under way. But nothing is done about the billions lost through tax evasion of large corporations and the ultra rich.
