Does anyone remember the Lifeboat pub in Cleethorpes in the late 70s and 
early 80s. That was the best pub I have ever been in. What a great place.

Yes, I remember it, I worked for a central heating firm and used to pop in 
at lunchtimes.....some really great draught Double Diamond in there, also an 
old fashioned bar billirds and skittles games. Those were the days !

You would have to go a long way to find one, I'll bet, or the old fashioned 
wooden skittles for that matter.
Which brings me to another topic on pub games.......how many today have 
heard of "Dwile Flonking" or even know what it is for that matter. I know of 
one landlord who still has the Lincoln area Dwile Flonking trophy tucked 
away.

There was an article in last weeks Rasen Mail.  Tom Wood has aquired a 
refurbished ar bar billiards table for the Red Lion in Rasen.  The last 
place I remember seeing one is the Horse & Cart at Scawby Brook which is now 
knocked down.
