As teenagers we used to ring up, putting on the most outrageously camp voice possible, to ask if they could put on a big gay birthday bash. Used to promise to make a booking if they promised to put on a tray of cheesy poofs. Never tired of it and whoever used to answer the phone would say, ah, it’s you toe rags again. Both use to laugh before hanging up. was it a 'coming out' party? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember the number of opposition fans I used to direct towards this establishment when milking around the station and in search of refreshments. Did a smashing pint of Carling in there, it was a nicer boozer than most round that area.Used to go in on a Wednesday before 80's night at the Leadmill .
