My field agents have been informed of Morgan's latest findings so they can take that into account. Hopefully we can resolve this sooner rather than later. Was it Desperate Dan's?

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 On 05/06/2019 at 22:19, Morgan said: No, Finsbury Park was on the premises of Mustards. You could enter it through the back door, just beside the Job Centre? Just a ‘one level’ boozer, unlike Gatsbys which was three floors. I know the place you’re talking about though, I worked just off West Register Street for about 19 years and used these pubs regularly. It’s now annoying me too! I thought Finsbury Park was further down. The pub you could enter from West Register Street, was that not Findlays or something? I used to work in New Register House from 1987 - 1994 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
