Can't argue any of that Pete, and now with the Olympics coming it's going to be even worse. Your old haunts were probably my old haunts. Hmmm, do we know each other???
Well one never knows, I used to hang out at the Shaggy for the most part and the Central when it was still going. Why I've even been known to frequent the Castle and Ambassador for after work libations errr tea. Heck I even go back to the PPen north and south days when they were byob.
Sorry Mike I forgot to answer you about the Canadian Rollermatic tub question, yes you are correct the tubs produced in Canada were much darker the than 1965-1970 American versions.
