Worse than you ever can imagine. Peterborough is the big city to Wisbech folk.

Was it Luigi the landlord back in the day? the Gladstone was always good for underage drinking and scoring gear!

When did you live there? I was a Peterborough boy 87-94.

Luigi! He was mates with my old man! I didn't really know him myself, but he was well known to most of the locals! I used to love that pub! (For reason's you have already mentioned!). Another pub I used to like, but is now closed, was the one on Lincoln Rd, and Norfolk St - was it the Norfolk? They used to do good drinks and music!

I lived there from about '98 ish (i think!) until '01, but used to go there regually as a kid/teen as my dad's family are all from there.

Another good pub I can now remember is Charters - it is on a boat and I think they have quite a good selection of beers too!

Luigi? It was his dad running it when I lived there (77-80). Brings me loads of happy memories (unlike Peterborough itself).

1st time I ever went in the Gladstone -
Luigi: Hey, you Italian?
Me: No
Luigi: You sure?
Me: Yeah, my mum would've told me
Luigi: Well, she would have told you in a special way.
Me: What way's that then?
Luigi: In Italian!

The best thing about Peterborough is that the A1(M) goes to 4 lanes in each direction when it passes by (something it doesn't do anywhere else from London to Edinburgh). This ensures it's always easy to escape from.

drove on that a lot! got a bit lost driving back from Ruskington to Peterborough, half tempted to just drive back to London at one point (mrs21 was navigating and her usual skillz deserted her) drive in and out of peterborough a couple of times, not much to it really, it is bigger than I thought, eventually found the hotel (Holiday Inn Express) and couldn't be arsed going any further than the harvester next door for food and drink.

Shame you went to Peterborugh (in every sense) as you could have stayed in Stamford, which is about 10 miles further north and is actually nearer to Ruskinton.

However, if you wanted 10 pints, a not particularly nice kebab and a fight, then Peterborough's the place.
