Well well... I just over shock finding that my very own pub was under the spotlight in 1982

If you play second video at the near end of story...

You will see my local and a man who is pulling the pint is great mate of mine.. Landlord Robin Pimberley. (BBC made spelling error "Robbie James Pimberley" when it really should be Robin)

Anyway enjoy!

Looks a decent old pile Hoppy. It probably says something about my beer fixation, when I had to pause the video at 36 seconds to see what was on the pump clips!

Someone somewhere probably still has the Jules Rimet trophy sitting on their mantlepiece!

Pump with no clip is now Morland Original. If you see Bank's Bitter at the left-most, that's where I always stand and enjoy my pint of Spitfire. There is more pump around the corner with likes Mild, Carlsberg, Strongbow etc etc...

I'll think I have a word with Robin tonight cos he never mentioned it to me..

I would love to see that trophy pop out of the trench on a Time Team dig.

Unfortunately I believe it was melted down and used to make dentures for South American drug barons.

Tony would just bring it back here to put it on the Bristol City Trophy shelf alongside our other esteemed comedy trophies.
