Incidentally, as Southsea was a resort, my dad, who was a bus driver was not allowed any holiday in peak summer time. He used to work pretty much 7 days a week, raking in the overtime and paying for a week at Butlins last week of their season every year.
Might be getting confused so many names those bars had, Was the Albert up stairs?
at the far end of the pier, on the back of the main building. Where the big fish and chippy is now. Quite a job getting all our kit down there and back every week.
Thanks, couldn't remember, there was a bar above that also.
