Yeah, I've has a few in the Family. And the Spermo. My old local was the "Local" at West Ryde, among others.
I used to ride shotgun delivering Dales soft drinks to the Valley and Rydalmere on every saturday when I was a young spider. End of the day the boss would shout me a lemon squash but I had to sit outside in those days, because rules. As time went on the Family became my local haunt with all the pub bands of the late 70's and early 80's. To see a band you had a to buy a meal ticket or you couldn't get in. I went back later when it was the Spur Steak Ranch but haven't been for years. I suppose moving north of the border recently doesn't help either.
I saw Cold Chisel for the first time at the Local. I also remember War & Peace in Parra but for some reason I couldn't take to that place.
I forgot all about the Spur Steak Ranch. I never went there but do remember it being that for a while.
You'd have to know Possum?
Possum is an old duck who probably still lives on that street and drives heavy load escort vehicles.
She and her hubby live on Crowgey. They do heavy vehicle escort in a panel van with orange flashiing lights. I only met them a few times. Salt of the earth people though.
I would have delivered soft drinks there. Did you have a hot sister who would come to the door in her underwear looking smashed from a Friday night out?
