I also was atop the World Trade Centre in April 2001.
The Spion Kop. Deffo the madness and bustle of the old standing Kop. Fuck, I miss it.
Just try to explain it all, to someone who never had the chance to experience it.
You just couldn't do it justice.
Pubs down the years, that have gone to the wall. Drink in one favourite, it closes, move to another, it closes, move to another, it closes. Move on to another.... and so on.
All the pubs I grew up with, or drank in, have gone into dust.
The Queens.
The Whitey.
The Breck.
The Strawberry Tav.
The George.
The Richmond
The Clarence
The Campfield.
The Thirly.
The Waverley.
The Granton.
The Little Solly.
The Alex.
The Derby.
The Farney.
The Flower house.
The Molly.
The Olympia.
……. and many more.
And after this shit has calmed down, many, many more might be gone forever.
