  • Join me for some bitters, stouts, IPAs and more on part 1 of our October SPBW coach trip to Preston and Chorley! I was pleasantly surprised by how varied and overall good quality the pubs of Preston were, and as usual everyone was super friendly. Let me know where I missed, which boozer was your favourite and where I should visit next.

    Glad you visited the Black horse pub. A little known fact. It has 3 addresses being on the junction of 3 roads. My Granddad used to go there. He actually told the landlord at the time that the floor was all beautifully tiled. At the time it was covered in linoleum. Anyway they took it up and now as you can see. The tiles are fully exposed. 🍻 cheers.

    I go to Preston regularly, next time, Winckley street Ale House and Guild Ale House should be added, forget the walk out to Moorbrook, too sketchy with beer in my opinion, same thing with beers seems to happen every time I go, 'just the end of the barrel', too much of a coincidence for me. The old Vic (Vic and Station) was the place I started drinking real ale at 13!

  • @jimswim2851
    @jimswim2851 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I wouldn't say Preston is struggling. Sure the high street has a lot of closures but that's much the same for most city's. Look at all the development that has gone into the roads and pavements in the city centre. The brand new University buildings next to The Adelphi. The constant stream of bars and restaurants opening down the lesser known streets in the city centre.
    I grew up on Plungington on the council estates and I can tell you it's in a better place than it used to be. We have a thriving University that brings thousands of people from all over the world and it's got bigger and bigger every few years. I don't doubt that some areas in Preston are struggling but the title is misleading since his time is spent in the city centre not on the council estates. Get down to Gamul, Grange, Avenham, Moor Nook etc. and you will see where there are real problems. And I say problems not struggles because after all this is a first world country, the unemployed are taken care of with free housing, free money and any other hand outs. Alls a woman has to do is squirt a kid out these days and they get a free house.

    Weak alcohol those. I am used to drinking a 6.0 Dragons Breath, dark hefeweizen myself. But I guess if you are making a day of it, 4.5 is enough. Ha, ha. Oh ok, later on on the video are some higher alcohol beers. Fosters on tap? yuck! Who the hell drinks Fosters? I don't think even the Aussies do.
    Here in Missoula, MT many bars have casino machines. I can see you have those in the Pubs there. I have won more money on these casino machines in the bars here in Montana than I ever did in any real casino in the US even Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada. But I suppose because when I was at those real casino places, I was only passing though.

    If you want to blame someone for the railway punctuality/reliability look no further than the unions and their workforce. It will not prove to be privitisation as you cannot change the mentality of Mick Lynch and his mob, as they are the problem and not who owns the network as they do not care for the travelling public one iota.

    • @mihranplayz3430
      @mihranplayz3430 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Privatisation is the problem, when the infrastructure is privately owned it will be built and operated to maximise profits and cut as many corners as possible. Union strikes are there to deter negative changes to the people (mainly workers) so they aren't exploited for some random upperclassmen to get a few extra 0s on his paycheck. Nationalising the rail system would fix a lot

    • @neilboulton9813
      @neilboulton9813 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      ​​@@mihranplayz3430It really shows how very little you know the actual infrastructure in terms of the track, signals and stations have been nationalised in terms of Network Rail for over a decade and that is the main problem on the network. In someways make the whole thing nationalised then Mick Lynch and his lazy unreliable workers will have no-one to blame. However whatever you do they will still find someway Labour or Tory to pin the blame on the government when it is their antiquated expensive practices and unreliability that is actually the main issue.

    • @mihranplayz3430
      @mihranplayz3430 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@neilboulton9813 the tracks themselves are owned by the national rail however the actual train services are all privately owned. With multiple private train providers using the infrastructure while not fixing their underlying issues with their staffing and scheduling, the entire system grinds to a halt. If it were nationalised, and done properly and not half assed, there would be efficient direct communication between the train services instead of blaming and delays would not only be less common but also less impactful. Train fares would be cheaper because the goal of the train services wouldn't be to maximise profits for the CEO, and workers would be paid fairly. I genuinely do not see a downside to nationalising the rail, considering that even if it is privatised unions will exist (and yes, unions are important. It's not a mob, they have a purpose)

      @neilboulton9813 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@mihranplayz3430 Like I said you will have no-one to blame when the service is still s*ht once it is all nationalised. You will then realise the staffing issues are not TOCs fault it is the lazy unreliable workers and their union pay masters. Who have to justify their enormous pay packets much like the CEOs you mention by agitating for yet another strike leaving people shivering on the platform and eventually giving up and just driving if they can. The government has already said it won't lead to cheaper fares, so if you believe that you are a muppet. As again we have the highest paid train drivers in Europe that our ticket prices will have to pay for!
