The Linny closed.

A lot of people who used the Linny started to go in the Dormans Club as you do not need to be a member in there now. The Dormans is like a Community Centre now with various rooms for snooker / pool, live music, weddings. £5 for the old folk which includes a Sunday Lunch, bingo and an artist is proving popular. They are one of the last few Clubs with live acts. See the “Dormans New” Facebook page. The Linny is living in the past. It was ok when it was cheap.

I go in the Dormans when drop my son off at cubs so I don't need to drive home. Every week it's the same 3 people watching The Chase in the bar.

I can see this being the place my small group of friends, who still occasionally did meet in the Linny on a Friday evening.

Most of them old muso’s and older than me, so it might suit them tbh. £4 in the revamped Vine isn’t going to do it for them *tightfisted white knuckled wallet grasp emoji*

I’m enjoying the freedom of imagining my own emojis these days.

‘Imagining my own emojis these days’. Hurrah for the return of language and the death of semi(idi)otics.
 
It's a really interesting article on him. It seems that the government and progress trod on his toes by putting a road through his estate so he just decided to be a massive pain in the **** to them and also has tried to maintain traditions and it sounds like he's done some good things for others. The problem is his treatment of those trying to run his pubs just like the linny. He does this kind of thing all the time and I have no respect at all for someone who does that to normal hardworking people.
 
I lived on Roman Road in a shared house about 100 yards from the Linny in the mid 90s for about a year.

Only went in there about twice. Beer was absolute pi33.

Have to say I’ve never met a greaser (and I used to know lots!), who drank Liebfraumilch and listened to David Essex.

You obviously never worked on Till 4.

There were a few other regulars that went in there. Joke Shop Face and Kidney Bean Head being two of them.

*Edit* Maybe not the David Essex but definitely Liebfraumilch.
 
I live not far away, but rarely go in - the last time on New Years Day, when about 3 people were in. It’s seems they were actively discouraging people going in with all the signs regarding no mobiles, tablets, etc. I also dislike Sam Smith bitter , and their bottled beers are now expensive- amazingly you can get them cheaper in some shops.
Pity, as it’s a nice building .

Nope, I didn’t Hewielewie, but I Just can’t picture bikers coming into the pub and ordering rubbish German wine. Now asking for a manly Syrah with plenty of structure, that I can see.
 
So.. is this a sammy smiths thing? They are looking for a new landlord? or are they looking for a new owner?
