1960maaan Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Just wondering what times the Pubs open in BS3. The Cardiff game was ok as the Coopers opened at 10am , but that was Saturday. The last time I was there early on a Sunday I ended up walking for ages and ended up in 'Spoons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 My advice is to get on the vodka about 6am and then have about 45 Stellas then wake up at home and see city have lost again 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Pubs can’t open before 12midday on Sundays. Supermarkets/shops can’t sell alcohol until then either. 1 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 (edited) The smart plan therefore is to buy alcohol tonight and drink it tomorrow morning. 12.30pm kick-off leaves some time. Albeit drinking so early and on a Sunday too is quite unnatural. I know someone who used to drink alcohol on the bus, at the bus stop post his shifts..He clearly didn't care much for convention.

Robbored Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Just now, Whitchurch said: Alcohol can be sold from 10am on Sundays in shops Are you sure? The licensing laws are standard across England. That said some places have special licenses allowed for ppl who work nights shifts - they’re usually in industrial\mining areas. I know that some pubs around Billingsgate Fish market open early mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
