How Local...... - HibeesBounce.com

**beefy** · 28-06-07, 12:59

is yer local ?

Mine is 4 bus stops away.As i have a bus stop outside my gaff and the 21 stops right outside the boozer i tend to think the bus is my own cheap taxi(although its bigger,maroon and seats more than 5)

Are you walking distance for a peev and do you pass other boozers to get to yer own?I pass the Doo'cot and McKenzies.

I live above a pub although I tend to drink further afield.

I am a greedy bassa and have two locals. Both in the same street, the antiquary and the bailie, I drink more in the bailie and I have to pass the antiq to get there but its all walking/staggering for me.

**persevered** · 28-06-07, 13:15

Robbies. 30 seconds away.

**Hibee Kev** · 28-06-07, 13:26

Winston's is just over the road, or if I'm feeling like a bit of a maverick, The Oak and The Corstorphine Inn are both only a short walk away

Gunner a hop, skip and a jump away.

TattooedHibee · 28-06-07, 13:48

Dodger is a 20 second dander along the road. Feck the bowling club.

**tricky** · 28-06-07, 13:56

The Four in Hand is about 10 yards away not there so much outwith the football season , cannae really handle the friday and saturday night karaoke making these nights a no no.

plenty decent boozers in walking distance though.

**Bill Oddies Beard** · 28-06-07, 14:06

The Fountain is 8 bus stops away.
I pass all the pubs in the west port and the auld clachan to get there.
£6 odds in a taxi hame though

Correct. Have been in it once since it opened, but that was meeting boys from
tollcross that i haven't seen for a while for a stag night. Lasted two pints and
we were all asked to leave due to some of the younger boys, erm, powdering
their noses in the toilet ala Fowler against Everton

Oh, aye. Go past Cargo too, to get to the Fountain. And will keep doing so.

Robbies is probably my local, and it is less than 5 minutes away (can't finish a fag door to door). Sitting there one night however I worked out that it is either the 6th or 7th closest pub to me (Dalmeny, Jaynes, Vicky, Strathmore, Dizzies (although that's shut at the moment. Again.) are all definitely closer, and the Horseshoe is further to walk if you cross the road in a sensible straight across looking left and right way, but might not be if you do the cutting the angle thing up Leith Walk). The other one I drink in a fair bit is The Iona. That's further away but I don't pass any pubs on the way to it.

HenryLB · 28-06-07, 14:39

When I'm in Edinburgh the Bailie. In London the Gunmakers in Clerkenwell. I pass loads of pubs to get there - the Union, the Old China Hand, the Exmouth Arms, the Wilmington, the Eagle, the Printworks, the Betsey Trotwood, the City Pride, the Duke of Cambridge - but it's usually worth it.

**wee 162** · 28-06-07, 14:44

How do people define if a pub is their local or just where they drink most btw?

My criteria would be that you can go in yourself and about half the time you will know someone in there, and you know at least two of the barstaffs names, that's a local.

Sounds about right. In that case I'd have about three locals.

Bit worrying really.

A local to me is when they pour yer pint when they see ya coming through the door.You know at least 80% o the punters names and you can get away with more drunken debauchery than you can anywhere else.
Fights are usually between mates and broken up by fellow quaffers that are not necessarily mates.
A place where yer no scared to sing and dance and make a general tit of yersel.Finally a place where you are allowed a tab and if yer skint someone will buy ya a pint or 3.

I live above a pub although I tend to drink further afield.

So do I but I have to pass that one, the Vintage, Whitsons, Tam O Shanter and The Foot of the Walk to get to my local.

My friends have just bought it though so let the good times resume.
