"Having just sung through carols in the light of candles I have to say I was in the need of a little light laryngeal lubrication and my better half suggested The Stokers (aka The Magpies if you're a local). I held my tongue and our party entered the lounge looking for a place to sit. The atmosphere was comparable to a football match. In the 70s. At the height of The Football Factory (J King's amazing little volume). We did an about turn and (I kid you not) we were jeered out. I gave them a friendly wave of course. I needed some placation so suggested the ever dependent Brooks. A short drive later we installed ourselves in a cosy corner and quite literally marvelled at the difference in atmosphere and attitude of the locals. When I first moved South I used to say I could tell the difference in dialect between someone from Willenhall and Bentley (approx the same distance separates here and Little Stoke) and I used to get furrowed brows off people who still couldn't work out I wasn't a Brummie. The same still applies 40 years later but I'd add that I missed the subtlety of how you behave when you're three sheets to the wind in your local (I guess something I had less experience of when I was teenager roaming the West Mids being refused admission in the days before fake id and alcopops). The Brook's regulars are young but legal mostly drawing from BS that's young itself. Beer was good, service fast and the place was packed. We left before the quiz started but the party feel was good natured and relaxed. Nuff said."
