For a while I wondered if cinema had some hidden meaning but on reflection I think the old man was just being weird. Local cinema when I was a boy was called The Picture House. Just an old name for one I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat O'Falk 3,289 Posted December 16, 2018 The local cinema was an art deco building called Essoldo but known locally as 'the fleapit'. I used to spend about three hours on a Saturday morning watching the Children's Film Foundation's output for the princely sum of a tanner (sixpence, 6d now 2½p ). It closed down and was turned into a bingo hall before being demolished and replaced with an Aldi supermarket. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I was suspecting you named your favourite pub band or something like that, only to find out that this album has quite the cult following and critical acclaim. So thank you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
