MPPU Increasing In October

I wouldn't be so sure of that, we've got three in their early twenties and they like a slurp.

How they drink is changing, not sure the quantity is.

Fair enough, you’ve got a different experience. The people of that age I know aren’t exactly teetotal but they don’t drink in anything like the way we did.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Definitely. I mentioned it on here before that all the young apprentices and graduates hardly bother with it, even the ones that play rugby. They’re more interested in fitness in whatever form it may be.

We sort of touched on it at the game today, my 19 year old nephew didn’t come today because he went to Wind St last night, and we were laughing saying they wouldn’t have lived with us at that age, three day weekend and still get into work on the Monday morning.

I look back now and wonder how we did it mind. Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the lash and work bright as a button on Monday morning.

It was an art form, a trade almost. You done your training, served your time and next thing it came naturally like eating your dinner.

Only 3 days! Amateur (^○^)

My mother used to have Sunday dinner on the table at 12.15pm sharp. No idea why that time except that my old man insisted on it and he was a miserable old git much of the time. So I used to get dragged out of my bed at midday after a night out and straight downstairs to a full Sunday dinner and not eating it or saying you’d have it later was not an option, trust me.

Selective memory? No way in the world, where you out on the pee, for 3 days, and then bright as a button on a Monday morning, unless you were drinking lager shandy.

Come on now, it's bloody impossible, I was young once as well mind, and the hangovers do not change.

Ok. If you say so. You know best of course.

Thursday night used to be a big night in Llanelli, almost on par with Saturday and definitely busier than Friday. Both major employers in the town had 12:30 finishes on Friday so a few hours work on Friday morning was manageable. Sunday also very busy but all closed down by 11pm back in those days.

Well I can smell a fib like! No way in the world, were you drinking copious amounts of beer for 3 days, then waking up on a Monday fresh as a daisy.

I don't know, mind.

We'd play football in the morning and spend all afternoon in the pub, it helped that the boozers use to close at 10:30pm on a Sunday

Thursday night in the Plough Brynhyfryd was something else back in the day.

I’m old enough to remember when you couldn’t get a drink in Llanelli on a Sunday.

Midday till 3pm and 7-1030pm on a Sunday. Feels quaint now.

I went to Llanelli once for a few drinks, whilst I was standing by the bar, someone walked up and ordered food, I was absolutely spellbound by a Llanelli pronunciation of curry sauce

Edit: Damm it, meant to reply to Coops. Sorry.

Hmm, I used to enjoy a Thursday night. Helped by the short working time on Friday and the ten item special in the work canteen.

I think the popularity stemmed from the weekly pay for blue collar staff. Barclays Bank would come on site and enable the workforce to withdraw their pay from their accounts. The pubs were then packed from 5pm onwards. This feels like an age ago but it was only the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
