Good morning to you G ;
yes indeed how sad the human race as changed from those early days we used to know
i also used to play darts around the pubs and never knew or should i say came across any trouble whilst playing around these varios
areas of aston and winson green; yes there was quite afew characters knocking around the pubs in any part of brum
if it was abit of a dispute and a row ever occured the gaffer would shout and say take it out side , and you would go out side
and shout at each other then come back in but never no violence but these days have gone
as you kno i grew up in aston on the lichfield rd and i was very familar with summer lane and the hockley area
and i knew the pubs [ the old pubs of yester years ] with the old jo anna playing out and people sittin out side on stools and people
mixing and singing ; we al knew the characters of yester years down the lane
as i was growing up in my junior years of life around the years of en years old my dad was running the golden cross pub
and in hose days the old teddy boys would have occasionioal would have fights but my old manwould stopp them fighting ;
he would walk around the pub collecting theglasses and occasionaly he would glimpse see some one ging to throw a glass
he would take it off him and eject him out of the pubsome time he hadto knock one or two out cold and call steel house lane
for the black maria van and take them to the lock ups and they would say thanks bill sometimes there would be one or two of them together
my mom would tell us of the story next day ; but there was never any murder or such violents as there is today ;
many years ago i ran a pub when a guy got his arm chopped off for being to flash on those pool tables from chelmsley wood
by a gang ; and another one in the mercatt pub behind the market place digbethone of my old punters whom frequented the pub had a snooker que pushed into his eye and he died ; yes as you know of the old summer lane and old gathers of yester years sais out out of the pubyou went out and thy never came back but now days they comeback mob handed and armed up to the teeth for revenge
i myself have barred hundreds of hooglingans from various pubs i have ran all over the country but never experience the troble like the norton;
with such cases of murder ; it had happenend twice in a numer of years along with smashing up the pub as well during those years
there was another murder of a guy at the chester arms years ago over druggs
we used to say in the game the pub is only as good as the gaffer ; but sadly its not the case in this day and age ;
take care G ; GIVE MY REGARDS TO MARIA ; BEST WISHES ALAN;
