I wonder when it will reach 1 million views? If it does continue 'a lot more' let us hope it is not because 'a lot more' pubs are closing. Most of the pubs I frequented in my youth and middle age have already gone!!! In case you have not seen it Loiner in Cyprus the post by uncle mick on 6-Jan-2011 at 16:24:45 on page 90 may be of interest regarding the number of pubs/beer houses there were in Leeds in 1872 and 1908. Mm!! Beerintheevening.com lists 102 pubs in Leeds, but I dont know how old the post is.
Someone told me that this weekend they were in The Woodman in Halton. Must be still open and there were customers still singing in there- same ones as in the 80s I think!

Does anyone remember a pub on Woodhouse Lane called "Tims" it was demolished about 1961. I worked opposite Leeds University at the time but I didn`t drink there as I was too young at the time
