I didn't forget, Petra, just lack of time. Here's a picture taken this week - all locked up, of course. There is a shot along the bar on the forum, taken at the fundraising event in November for the 'Smile of the Child'. I'll try to find more. and another one showing some of Julie's handiwork: Steve

Now I definately have to win the Lottery tonight. Fingers and everything crossed.
I would still call it Bennys if I was allowed, but with an addition "Still Bennys". It reminds me of serving in the Falklands in 82 and 83. We called the Falklanders, Bennys because they all wore woollen hats as in Crossroads (many moons ago). The Commander in Charge of the Falklands Islands found out about this and sent out a memo to say it at to stop. So we started calling them "Stills". The Officer in Charge asked what was meant by "STills", and we said "STill Bennys".
Yeiamas, Chris

why has it shut? forgive me if its been mentioned. a shame really . where is the pub listed ie: estate agents ? big shame to see places shut down . BUT since my first visit to roda last year i always thought it had to many bars for such a small place. OK the more choice is sometimes a good thing . Ive seen a few bars in roda with bardly or no people in them. It aint easy running a bar/club overseas especially trying to attract people if there is already popular places ie: drunken and pirates . Ive always wanted to run my own bar overseas maybe one day.

Hi just to let everyone know that olga is working with her brother in the bar at sams boats (lovely wee bar with seating outside too) and rob is at the drunken salior. Saw Liam a few times too and they are all well, people dont understand the pressure of running a business until you try it. We wish them all a happy and more relaxed season. lyndaxxx
