Well it's great news that the sizzler meals will soon be flying off the menu in a
Pub that has held such dear memories for me over the last 38 years.
I was only thinking the other day of what Brian Hitler the old landlord back in the day would have to say if he could see his beloved Mivvy now.
Especially serving such fine fittle of pub grub to its awaiting hungry regulars.
I'm sure that it would probably turn Brian's sour face even more taint,
At the thought of serving greazy food in such a fine establishment.
Not on his watch would we ever get such meaty morcels in our time.
Back then it would have been a bag of KVE, a bag of Yampi Fries
As called by the lad from Bentley... Or alternatively a pack of ploughmans biscuits with a cheese triangle and a few silverskin pickle onions inside, that even the hardened discerning drinker could not resist... Catch you soon my ber swilling friends... BFG

Tis said that a Mr BA robinson may have told the very volatile youthe to not do the usual, but did we make a comment when a young Mr Robinsons picture was proudly displayed upon a 1950s sideboard table in the cult movie of the early 1980s Quadrophenia!!!! or did he have anything to say when one of the younge Cannon boys did in fact try out the old creaky wooden rocking chair that lay dormant in the corner of the olde cottage nesstled amongst the tiny streets of said cawsands....
And was the big nosed always smiling cobbler aware that Hannah who resembles Ms Kate Bush but with a big nose, also tried out the old wooden creaky rocking chair... eh... eh.... I think not sir....
Where are they all now then.... eh... eh...Mark Swanky....Bit "O" Lemon Stoneh.... what bit.... I will show you what bit....Just like Martin... never can shut it.....

And what I used to love the most after after a great night of "new Romantic" dancing to the stars of the era was an outside line swiftly followed by a loverly Wessles hot dog from the burger van parked on the car park to feed the hoarde of hungry late night revellers before their journey home....
I remeber that the hot dogs "or weeners" as they are known by our friends from the "Good Ole US of A" came in a variety of different sizes...
You could have a small hot dog which was usually aimed for the female of the group in order to keep her weight down... a medium sized one that could suffice even the most hungry new romantic chappies appetite...
And last but not least was the "whopper" which although it was made for the more drunken youthe after a full on session of "devil Water" was most commonly used in the super sketch of the brilliantly talented Ms Barbara Striesand in the classic 1980s Latex and humorously funny series Spitting Immage.....
When we was PI**&$ as the large phallic sausage lolled around her Jewish face an entered into her open ready mouth tasting the goodness of the German Delight...... classic memories from a brilliant haunt......

If i knew that the doorman had used such vulgar language to an honest "New Romantic" merely trying to re enact state of the heart moves like their robotic heroes of the era "Tik and Tok" i would have ridden over on my mates Honda 70 Cub with the white top box which contained and old towel... and proceeded angrily to make said nasty bouncer with black dikkie bow to lik his own bleeding mal-rouge la la la la la la.... infact, the fat bloated puffer fish face person would pray that likening strikening agggaiiiinn.... would indeed blow down heavy upon him..... as woe betide.... he would not be able to fight off the heavy blows from the younge verrr fat and verrr smelly madness fan who bet his father that he would end up buying every record that the SKA group made.... not unless he wants me to "Buck his sister in the back of a big Motor"......... prey doo tell.......

It was a shame that said videos were not around in the early 1970s as it would be certain that the young Pratt brothers would have offered a free delivery service of videos straight to your door via a pair of loverly Purple and Chrome Raleigh chopper bikes.......
It would also be quite a spectacle if the delivery was in the evening as if you lived in a road that had a big gradient incline, i am sure as eggs is eggs, the young Terry and lee would dazzle you with amass of sparks emitting from the heels of their platform shoes..... as the yound "fair kid" daredevils ride frantically "No handed" to off load their elder one legged brothers hoarde of viewing delights.....

I can remember the fruit machine with free parking as one of its features, also the adders and ladders to name but a few...
It was great beacause in the early days of frequenting (the Mivvy) as it was known by the regular locals, the jackpot was two pounds paid in cash, then when the massive increase on the payout went to three pounds, but alas it was paid in ten pence size brass tokens....
But if you was lucky enough to herald such a prize, you felt like the little kid who resembles a young Colin Clines from the great early 1970s film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...
When the jackpot increased to four pounds, the tokens were the size of a 20p...
I remeber you could exchange them for hostelry goods from the bar, which if in the lucnchtime, would be no other than the smartly turned out landlord Brian.
He wasnt too happy when you did this, as he thought you was getting something for nothing... Did he not consider that I had just lamped over thirty pounds into his little machine situated adjacent from the ladies and gents toilets!!!!!

Oh Gosh.... i remember walking past the Myvod on a dark and cold night and reading out Nosferatiattu emblazoned in white spray paint all over the wall of the bar.....
I bet the neatly dressed landlord Brian was not amused at this black country prank...I can imagine him trimming his neatly formed side burns looking in the mirror with a face the colour of beetroot because of his anger against this vile act of mindless vandalism.
I remeber Mr and Mrs nice tie frequenting the hostelry on most evenings in the themed lounge that was just like being on a film set from the classic film Spartacus... oooooh what a lovely picture....
If you wanted a Hot Pie, It was better if you went to the Woodman for that as Billy Pitcock would be in there lunchtime and early evening partaking in the popular pub meal... and with a nice bag o rots to finish with...

The Myvod, Wednesbury
Hello fellow Mivvy drinkers... The Plantet Earthe song made famous by the Brummie new romantics Duran Duran was literally on the radio only a moment ago. Which stimiliated my memory of listening to the tune back in the day sitting in the lounge of the Mivvy sipping a Vimto through a paper straw wondering what it would be like to have been going with my older mates who were quaffing beer waiting for the taxi to carry them off to the Dilke Arms or the Pigott Arms for a night out of heady dancing to the latest New Romantic tunes of the day.... And as the lights and lazers and mirrors would have certainly sent them into a frenzy of strange new dancing, somewhat robotic, as the yewth laughed drank and slapped the floor, feeling like the pop star of the time Jim Kerr, from the super group Simple Minds... Zioid Zioid.... Me.... I went home and dreamt of owning some terrapins from the pet shop in Union Street....
