There used to be two rooms as I remember, there was the bar and the lounge and they used to have bands on in the lounge at the weekend, mind you that was early sixties.

Ah well there some more usless information for you.I can remember our very first video recorder. The 'remote' was attached to it with wires. There was acres of wire all over the living room carpet. My parents thought we were dead mod!Which reminds me of the burglar alarm we had for a while. It was a shotgun wired up to the front door and loaded with blanks. Yes, it was a rural life.
