Oh I had one of the most surreal Nights of my life in the 80's on what I think was my only ever venture .
Anyone remember the Irish bouncers name, one of his sons ended up running the Fletch pub.
Sorry if going off topic.
My brother did the relief manager job at the fletch about 20 years ago
I went in for a pint one Saturday evening about 6:30
I asked the barman for a pint and stood at the bar minding my own business, next thing this lad come over to me and wanted to have a fight he accused me of starting on him the previous night in town.
After told him I’d been in the wallace the previous night and was just coming in for a pint with my brother who was running this place his whole attitude changed and said sorry mate but it’s not a good night unless I have a scrap and sat back in t(e corner with his mates
