Deal, Kent:
Jeebus, this was a bit grim.
The nearest pub to our holiday cottage, some of it has been converted to an Indian takeaway and a hairdressers. The pub is now one-room, and there’s only the usual keg beers and lagers. It’s very much a pub occupied by regulars, but sadly one of them seemed to enjoy ridiculing another, who was both pissed and mentally disabled. We drank our (OK) lager quickly……
Our landlady commented that it was once a lovely pub, but that it was now habituated by ne’er-do-wells.
