My science "background" landed me a skilled job where I am now so can't complain.
I took F&W technology. Like you guys, spent a lot at The York, The Grand and Dedos. Coach and Horses and The Irish House too!

The Grand Hotel closed it's doors this past summer.
The last 2 places came after me. Back in my day, the York was kinda a disco - they claimed to have a piece of the floor from the movie “Saturday Night Fever”. There was a bar downstairs; Dedos perhaps?went there a couple of times inQuote:

In the middle of all of that was the Central where they had bands and you could get trays of glasses of draft. There was a tiny pub in the back that was pretty quiet. Once when I was there, some bikers threw an axe with dynamite through the door, thankfully it was after hours. I used to go to the Grand on Thursdays for pizza and a jug of draft - good college food!
