Nina’s (Millers Bridge/Dock Road
Question 1: You’ve driven your lorry all the way from Glasgow to the docks in Bootle. You’ve had your mouldy scran from the Stanley Foods takeaway and you fancy a bevvy and a perv…but you only have £6. Where should you go?

Answer: Nina’s

Ale - bottles of lager £1 (Carlsberg). Pints are probably crap.
Bar Staff - Old birds who are “Amusingly abusive towards customers”.
Toilets - Poor. ■■■■■ floor, ■■■■■■■■ graffiti on walls, one brown cube of soap that looks like its been there for 2 months.
Decor - Grimey. Christmas lights still hang on the far wall.
TV’s - One. Small. Has been known to show Gladiators with John Fashanu. AWOOGA!
Customers - Lorry drivers, groups of young lads in Reebok Classic, the old perv sitting on his own (there’ll actually be a few of these)
Local Nutter - Julie from the mental hospital
Entertainment 5/5 - 50p pool, free jukebox, Strippers every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday*

Stripper ettiquette

DO’s

  • Pay attention to her performance (even if it’s the one where she only gets her jugs out)
  • Accept any friendly requests to remove cream from her ■■■■■■
  • Applaude after a performance (even if you’re the only one)
  • Drop a tip into her glass (if she’s cheeky enough to come begging and she catches you before you make it into the bogs)

DONT’s

  • Play pool during a performance (they just come and ■■■■ with your game)
  • Tell her it’s your birthday (unless you want your kecks pulled down, your age written in cream on your cheeks and whipped off with a belt)
  • Put a blindfold on (it’ll be your mates arse hovering just above your face, not hers
  • Repeatedly shout “Get yer moggy out!”
  • Grab at said moggy everytime she comes near

Question 2: You’re a bit ■■■■■■ from your six bottles of Carlsberg. Should you drink-drive back to Glasgow tonight or kip in your lorry?

Answer: Neither. Stay the night at Nina’s! Upstairs they have rooms (brothel).

Overall Score - 4/10

:laughing: That bit is bloody funny :laughing:

I’ve seen some sights in some of these establishments.
Maybe not Liverpool , but does anybody remember The Red Lion at Aldgate E. London. …I was astounded by the method some of those girls used to smoke a cigarette, and did not know until then that you could open a bottle that way. :open_mouth:

the minories just over tower bridge from the lorry park that was potterfields, where you could loose a transit van in the puddles, in past the drunks led in the road, give the guy in the pay booth time you wanted to leave, try to straddle the puddles so there was some high ground to walk to and from your motor in the dark after alcohol, wander to the Italian along tooley street, then over the bridge to the pub where ladies seemed to get so warm they took their clothes off, back towards the truck and maybe a donner on the way, back in the truck to sleep it off on the parcel shelf of a Bedford tk/km cab, it paid to be short then.
