It was a fair while ago mate, not far off two years now. It was a sandy haired fella who was lacking in nearly all the social graces. I was over there from Liverpool with my mate Pete who is the calm one of the duo and even he was moved to remark upon the attitude of the landlord.
We explained that we were just visiting and were pleased to be in the Pub, for all the memories etc...and his attitude left alot to be desired. He wasn't a Geordie, his accent was hard to place, but certainly not Geordie.
