Never used an illegal drug in my life…….can you imagine this sense of humour and drugs Mind blowing or what Not tempted at all but not a prissy ninny. God Save Our King…….

Grant Burton… My stepdad Mick Baker drank in there
Tony Court-holmes… now there was a well run pub. Paul is still with us, I see his daughter Claire sometimes.
Mick Boss… I Remember Ron Bicker and his wife when I used the pub, they used to run Sussex County Darts from there in the 70’s. Ron asked us one night if we could get a 16′ christmas tree to go on the front entrance roof, yes mate no problem. Next day we spent 4 hours dragging the tree out the woods and onto the truck, it was so big the tip was bouncing up and down we couldn’t see to drive. Delivered the tree which took up half the carpark and Ron was over the moon. Go up the pub that night and Ron had cut 6′ off the top and stuck it in a pot, could not believe it. We risked getting nicked, struggled to get it to the pub and he cut the bloody thing up
Mike King…Had many a pint in there, mainly during the 70s. Used to get my haircut in Weavers, do my mum’s shopping along Mount Road where I also had my paper round – and mum worked at St Helens Hospital. Happy days.
