I am a retired Detective Sergeant from Burnley CID and years ago drank in the Tim Bobbin, Padiham Road, Burnley when it was a really nice 'locals' pub. I called in tonight and could not believe what a 'cess pit' it had become. !!!

There was a FEW MEN in that obviously appeared quite decent but I believe only attracted by the reasonably priced beer, but the rest of the clientle were THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. (Some of them I had locked up as a Detective).  I REALLY could NOT belive how MUCH this pub had deteriated. David Phipps. Ex. DS 2164 Phipps. Burnley CID.

Now there's a coincidence!!! I was just thinking the same when sat in my local last night.

A lot of the decent folk have moved on - as the place is no longer what it used to be. And some have now been replaced by less desirable's, as the place is rapidly going down hill.

It was a chilly night last night, and usually the place would be welcoming with the open fires blazing - for which its famous for. No last night. It was bloody miserable.

And before it even got to eleven (time) the staff are banging (very loud) all of the stools and chairs on the tables, turning lights out, and closing rooms.

Now the most unwelcoming place in the entire town.

What a crying shame!

It's sad to have to say this but only when Humphrey has popped his clogs will things possibly get back to how they used to be.
