I remember...

... in the early 80's, some car salesman used the Pub, always splashing the cash. He had the latest mobile phone, looked like one of those radio handsets the grunts used in 'Nam. To call it cost something like £2.00 a minute or something (and that was like 4 pints in those days!) - and yer know what? He used to get 5 or 6 calls in a lunch time - which was only 2 1/2 hours before open all day came in..
