We had a boozer where most of the caddies congregated ...
it was called the exchequers....we called it the marriage (wreckers ).
A lot of the caddies were barred for various misdemeanours. But it was
where I first bonded wid de lads. It was taken over recently by a
bloke called Brian the builder. a man who has made a bit of dosh...and
he fancied sprucing it up a bit and perhaps attracting a more celubrious
clientele. The caddies used to occasionally drink with the likes of Mcginley
and Big D. We used to ponce drinks off them. It is a pub on the A30
completely surrounded by golf clubs....famous golf clubs. There are more caddies
hanging about this area than any other area in the UK.
The smart thing to do would have been to make it into a golf themed
battle cruiser.....with practice nets out the back....and golf games galore
on de fecking floor. The golf fraternity would have come flocking....but no
......Brian had other ideas. He has clawed his way up from the building trade
and he wants to chat with middle class wallers....and why not. But sadly it
no longer even pretends to serve the community in which it is based. As I
understand it the caddies....or the majority of them are no longer welcome.
It just shows you that however much you progress in life.....a little learning
may well be a dangerous thing. I think Alexander Pope once said that.
I just wish him luck.......
