Firm closing

[Harry Lamb]

We used to have a lot of Irish bars when the trips came in from Dublin. I remember hearing of them nicking a piano from the Globe and putting it in the bar on the boat.

88 keys but not one lock, no wonder they could nick it.

Always thought the only people who would shop in there would be half dead mongs, and I was bang on.

So half dead drug users. Oh yes that makes perfect sense now.

We both know what it says. It's etymology is mongol as in the offensive term for people with Down's syndrome. It's a corruption first noted in the 1980's. One of it's uses is as he says but it remains a nasty little term.

if you want to a certain  pub in Peel with your wife and 2 kids ,  the same meal you had the week previously  would cost to around £27   more ,   they say the hospitality trade is struggling  but increases in prices  like this are ridiculous 

perhaps thats why the pub in question   is named after a certain robber , ?
