I remember that night well. I passed it on the tram to Alty, Saturday evening. Returned Sunday morning and it was completely gone. Jail terms should have been served for the scum who did this

A Legendary pub, in my youth

Apparently he was Jimmy Murray from the demolition company, R&M Developments, Miles Platting.

Ethics of Greenall Whitley's vandalism aside it was missed by no one.

There’s a pub in Hammersmith (my memory may be failing me) full of bras

There’s a pub in Bristol (The Bag O’ Nails) full of cats…

The landlord is notoriously cranky, and has a long list of rules that you can be chucked out or barred for transgressing… Proper pub.

Bieratelier in Bruges has a large collection of bras hanging from it's ceiling.

Probably where they filmed this Greenall Whitley Land ad ... "Lads, we don't need to go to America for a big pile of rubble ... just hang on a tick"
