Does anyone remember the name of this thing
When l was a child in the late 60's, early 70 is l remember the local pub
had a door that led to a special partitioned area, like a small corridor
that led to the bar.It was separated from the public and saloon bars with
frosted glass and tiled walls (from the Edwardian era).My Aunty would pop
in there to buy cigarettes l seem to recollect & if l was lucky I'd get
some crisps.l have mentioned this to several people, but nobody knows what
l am talking about.Does anybody else remember these in pubs and if so what were they called and do any still exist? Out Sales sounds familiar.. The pub l am talking about also had an adjacent off licence, but this was either supplementary to the offy, or it operated when the offy was closed.It is nice to see that others remember these with nostalgia too.
I think it was called 'the jug and bottle' and succeeded by
being called the 'off licence' where you could buy cigarettes and beer,
wine and spirits for consumption outside the licensed premises, e.g. the
pub.
Locally in my part of the Midlands they were called ''Bob
Holes'' as the bar staff ''bobbed up'' in the serving window. I do not
now if here was a more technical term.
My local had one back in the days before its refurbishment.
As kids, we always referred to it as the 'off sales'. Is that what you're
thinking of?
Yeh yeh! I remember, but now it is bugging me what they were
called. The pub my mum & dad used to go to on a Saturday night had one
(together with a children is room which they used to dump me in for the
night!). Was it called Off Sales or Out Sales or something like that?
You could buy crisps & cigs from there without actually going in the pub
'proper'. No idea what they were for, perhaps it was somewhere to buy
cigs or crisps if you were not old enough to actually go into the pub - in the days before the village shop stayed open until 8pm!! Golly, you took me on a right memory trip there - I had completely forgotten all about those! And no, I am pretty sure they don't still exist.
Yes.
We used to call it 'the outdoor'
It was like a mini off-licence
some pubs had off licences adjoining them,no they dont exist
now as you can get all your take homedrinks from supermarkets nowadays
