We have a listing for the Clock Tower (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/57756/) in Meadowhall shopping centre, so in my attempt to take pictures of all Sheffield's remaining pictureless pubs I called in there today. It's a few years since I've been to Meadow-hell, but I vaguely remembered seeing a bar of sorts there and headed to the area called the Oasis where it was. (See this review (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=24383) from 2003 in case you want to know what you've missed.) However, this area is now totally given over to fast food outlets, TGI Friday, Frankie & Benny's and the like. Nothing that even vaguely resembles a pub and certainly nothing I felt like taking a photo of.
Once into the Oasis it's almost impossible to get out again, because there's nothing resembling an exit. I was half way through my second circuit before I realised it, as one fast food counter succeeded another in monotonous repetition, punctuated only by queues of happy shoppers waiting for their fried gloop. OK, so it's wildly popular and a wonderful way to spend Sunday afternoon with the family, but I've got a feeling that if there is a Hell, for me it will be Meadow-hell, where I spend eternity walking round an endless succession of fast food stalls looking for the non-existent exit.:pray:
When I finally got out my bike had developed a slow puncture. :moremad:
Please delete the Clock Tower.:evilgrin:
