Farewell Frank

Frank was the second cousin of Bobby Charlton and the greatest landlord ever. I've drank regularly at St. Johns since 1983 and thought he was always the landlord so quite surprised he was only there the last 18 years! Shows how good a landlord he was I always saw him as a permamnent fixture of the pub. The heyday was when the rudest barmaid ever worked there, the indomiible Enid who would tell you to drink up and get out when time was called, you never messed with Enid!
Thanks Frank for keeping St.Johns real ale and real in all senses of the word as a place that anyone that ever went to University in Hull probably still remembers along with Spiders night club. St. Johns and all those that have ever drinked there will miss you. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/Let-the-drink-talk-675586225966432/ |
