County Stores and Pentland Sports Emporium (is "Emporium" still in the dictionary?) were like Alladin's cave to a young lad.
I seem to remember it was sunny in the summer back then!
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.
If I mind right was the Mainbrace not the public bar of the Pentland????? Used to be a lassie from Buckie area used to work there I think
But where was the rod and line??????? "I was a Marine sort of person u know" (Good beer and good yarns)
Rod & Line was where John Barry's dental surgery is. (Bridgend)
What was there years ago? There was a low window onto the pavement that had small model fishing boats or something?

Yup, the Mainbrace was the Pentland's public bar. The entrance was in a side street if I remember rightly. The Marine was the stuff of legend. Nah, not really, but it was kinda special though.Originally Posted by peter macdonald
I don't remember the Rod and Line either.
