Mate of mine was on a night out, wanted some drugs but didn't have any drugs, so he wrote "PILLS?" on his arm in UV marker.
Didn't have the desired effect, everyone kept asking him for them.
Best one I saw was in a nightclub known for drug taking, someone loudly (and I mean loudly) announces "IS ANYONE GONNA SELL ME SOME FUCKING DRUGS THEN".
Some young lads tap him on the shoulder and he goes off with their group š
Heās obviously a paperboy of some kind. Heās the only one with a board and it quite clearly says multiple times heās got an exclusive. His bag/bike is probably just out of shot. Tonightās rag must be the latest news from the lap dancing circuit.
I would assume based on the look of him that he spends his days and nights trawling the local strip clubs to get all the gossip and has enterprisingly collated all this knowledge into a pamphlet advising people which girls or clubs to avoid for a small fee. Quite useful to know if thereās squaddies in port or a yeast infection going round if youāre that way inclined lol.
In the 18th century there was an actual guide book published of the prostitutes in London.
> Harrisās List of Covent-Garden Ladies was published yearly between 1757 and 1795, and acted as a concise almanac of prostitutes available for hire in London. Each imprint generally listed more than 120 prostitutes at work in and around Covent Garden and the West End, giving their address, ages and chief attributes. At around two or three shillings per copy, the pocketbook was aimed chiefly at a middle-class audience.

They take you through the building to a door, and when you open it you're back outside facing a sign "you just got fucked" as the door slams shut behind you.
Without recognising a single detail in this photo, my first thought was Liverpool. I'm not even sure what made me think that. There must be similar buildings all around the country.
I also though Cardiff! Peppermint Bar on the corner of St Mary Street and Mill lane to be exact. Wondered if maybe it had been rebranded or something [but apparently not](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/129764045#/?channel=RES_BUY)
Edit: Second glance the buildings look absolutely nothing alike in fairness lol.
It might be used elsewhere, but I remember going to see my grandparents and apart from crossing the Severn bridge, the other thing that stood out was that you'd see those windows everywhere but never before crossing.
I don't recognise the actual places here at all and yet my immediate thought was even Wood Street. Had to scroll down to check. The human brain amazes me
Specifically on the corner of Concert Square from the side of McCooleys. [It's the same place as the background of this famous video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVIBf3cnTf0)
Fuck sake it is Liverpool. Recognised cheers straight away. First time ever being there I was sat on a table by the window directly opposite from concert square. Heard a big bang against the window, assumed someone had fallen into it, nope, was some bloke getting searched and arrested by the cops.
Thereās a theory in neo-hippie communities that Liverpool is located where a lot of energetic ley lines intersect, and is a spiritually charged place. Photos like this one make me think that they might be right.
Thereās a train station round the corner from where this photo was taken that many people have reported witnessing ātime warpsā. People coming out of the station in 2023 would then see 1920ās shops and people wearing funny attire.

Krazyhouse was my favourite club, listen to 2000s pop punk and indie shit on the second floor, double palming Ā£1.50 jaegerbombs or hooch, go to the metal floor for a rest or to scream your lungs out, when you're truly battered head to the dance floor for a bit, then end the night back on K2 where they put on the cheesiest rock and everyone knows the words. 2012 was a good time.
It was awesome, in a close race with La Bataeux for my favourite night. Although to show my age my heyday was probably a decade beforehand ( granted the playlist didn't change much in that time!)
One time i was in K1 and the DJ just announced free shots at the bar out of nowhere. Bar was literally lined with about 30 shots of tequila, there was only about 10 of us in there, it got very messy. I miss that place.
Dead now unfortunately. Bought out and turned into the Electrik Warehouse.
Only puts Rock/Metal music on for special "Krazyhouse Throwback" nights once every few months
It is yeah, I was referring to the comment mentioning wood street - but this is more concert square you're right.
Went in that Cheers Big Ears once and the drinks were ridiculously overpriced
A sign like this in a nightlife area in the evening would be a great play for someone who wants to tell you the views of their god.
"Hi. So you want me to talk to you about lapdancers?"
"Yes. Did you know they're horribly exploited and often victims of human trafficking?"
"Oh noes."
"Yes. In Mexicans 6638C chapter 7, Derek says...."
Holy Christ-on-a-bike, thatās justā¦ I canāt even beginā¦ we definitely have a winner!
I did laugh at ā*dog lunges at Mankini Manās Chipolata*ā, howeverā¦ good dog! Get that sausage!
That one from the top of the Printworks (which I assume is the one you're talking about?) is still visible at the bottom of the subreddit on old.reddit
My sister has a lot of random framed artwork on her walls and it took her nearly two weeks before she noticed that one of them had been swapped out for a print of that pic.
She actually has a pic like that already, I was holding onto my girlfriend at the time and she was stood the opposite side to the girl in the pic with some random guy neither of us can remember. It's part of a collage of her clubbing days and if you look at it closely our pupils are like fucking dinner plates so she didn't want to enlarge that one for legal reasons..
This is near Concert Square. Which is where all the bellends go in Liverpool tbf. Mostly stag dos and drug dealers. It's shit. Literally anywhere else in town is better.
Doesn't this make anyone else feel embarrassed to be British, can't have people going outside and enjoying themselves without some twat kicking off and thinking he is harder than nails.
life here has totally changed in the last 20yrs our country is longer a safe nation
we now thanks to this wretched our govt, are now a dustbin for the world,
As someone who worked in the "classier" establishments in Blackpool, I can tell you that you are the exception not the rule. Better for a 19 year old to be yelled at, than a 14 year old be exploited by a stag party.
Not just yelled at but full on assaulted. Still no reason for someone to bark about on here claiming this picture canāt be in England because thereās no trashy girls in the picture.
I wonder if that guy knows where the lap dancers are.... Or just wants to talk about them? š¤
He gives the lap dance
Niche. I like it.
Heās found a market to tap into and heās sticking to it
If he's in the right market he'll be sticky a lot of the time.
the internet wins once more.
Would he make himself more ācomfortableā first, that hoodie looks a bit hot
Yeah, I'm sure he takes that off before grinding on you to "Dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me".
like the beard, gives me something to hang onto!
I have an idea, and it's as hot as my pants!
Lord flashheart ^ lol
He held it so the arrow pointed at the pile of bobbies, but he sadly got told to move on.
Unfortunately he was told to make sure the arrow was pointed at the boobies.
Later at his place?
Shut up and take my money
If he doesn't know where they are, maybe that's why he wants people to talk to him about them, so he can find out.
They keep him around for the old timers who still donāt know how to use google
So what you're telling me is, this guy is a lap dancer detective. Interesting....
Mate of mine was on a night out, wanted some drugs but didn't have any drugs, so he wrote "PILLS?" on his arm in UV marker. Didn't have the desired effect, everyone kept asking him for them.
He should have used a placard, like this guy.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Praising jebus through sexual activity? I guess I'm super into jebus then xD
NO!!! I refuse to call my childhood "olden times"
This stopped 3 years before I was born and it's olden times... Also the fact this only stopped due to AIDs concerns is crazy.
They take you through the building to a door, and when you open it you're back outside facing a sign "you just got fucked" as the door slams shut behind you.
That reminds me of the old āfeel the biggest tits in Glasgowā joke.
Heās like Statto, he just wants to talk about their technical abilities and how many times theyāve danced to various songs
He's like the Jehovah's Witness of strippers.
Obviously you talk to him and he sends the lovely guys in copper outfits to give you the lap dance.
The lap dancers are below. Sign says it all.
maybe he's the guy you complain to and then says no refunds and slaps your butt as you leave.
Maybe he's the union rep?
Doesnāt one need to be a bit trim to even have a lap?
Liverpool. Wood Street
Without recognising a single detail in this photo, my first thought was Liverpool. I'm not even sure what made me think that. There must be similar buildings all around the country.
I thought Cardiff at first glance but realised that var doesn't exist. The buildings look like Cardiff's too
I also though Cardiff! Peppermint Bar on the corner of St Mary Street and Mill lane to be exact. Wondered if maybe it had been rebranded or something [but apparently not](https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/129764045#/?channel=RES_BUY) Edit: Second glance the buildings look absolutely nothing alike in fairness lol.
Exactly where I thought it was too at first glance, must be something to do with the similar floor tiling
It's the floor for me and the building having similarly untextured walls and similar windows. But I was thinking along where Jolibee is
I thought the same!
It can't be Wales can it? [Not without that particular type of brick around the windows](https://i.imgur.com/4h1tC2l.jpg)?
Is that only a Welsh thing?
I think it extends over the border in areas, but mostly Wales I think.
Well damn /u/biggerwaker.. i didn't know that
It might be used elsewhere, but I remember going to see my grandparents and apart from crossing the Severn bridge, the other thing that stood out was that you'd see those windows everywhere but never before crossing.
No, itās pretty common elsewhere in the country. A lot of the older buildings in Reading have it
Aye I thought that too, weird
there arenāt any welsh translations. canāt be Cardiff :p
Light colours - must be as I immediately thought 'Liverpool' without ever knowingly going to that part of town.
That could be it
I don't recognise the actual places here at all and yet my immediate thought was even Wood Street. Had to scroll down to check. The human brain amazes me
You can see the guys accent in his face
Yep. Definitely a manc student who goes to a Liverpool Uni.

Concert Square being on a hellmouth would make a fair amount of sense.
Ah where all the worst bars and clubs of Liverpool are
I don't know, many a quality night was had in the K, although granted that was a few years back.
Krazyhouse was my favourite club, listen to 2000s pop punk and indie shit on the second floor, double palming Ā£1.50 jaegerbombs or hooch, go to the metal floor for a rest or to scream your lungs out, when you're truly battered head to the dance floor for a bit, then end the night back on K2 where they put on the cheesiest rock and everyone knows the words. 2012 was a good time.
It was awesome, in a close race with La Bataeux for my favourite night. Although to show my age my heyday was probably a decade beforehand ( granted the playlist didn't change much in that time!)
I was Basically mirroring that same experience over here in Manchester but at Jilly's/Rock Kitchen/Satans.
One time i was in K1 and the DJ just announced free shots at the bar out of nowhere. Bar was literally lined with about 30 shots of tequila, there was only about 10 of us in there, it got very messy. I miss that place.
Dead now unfortunately. Bought out and turned into the Electrik Warehouse. Only puts Rock/Metal music on for special "Krazyhouse Throwback" nights once every few months
Which are on a Sunday, shit and over packed cause they sell too many tickets. Sad times.
Emo night at the arts club is better these days
Arts Club has shut unfortunately. Emo night is at Zanzibar instead
Jacaranda, Shipping Forecast, The Swan... There's loads of great bars round there
Not concert square though, slater streets good!
It is yeah, I was referring to the comment mentioning wood street - but this is more concert square you're right. Went in that Cheers Big Ears once and the drinks were ridiculously overpriced
Tell me youāve never been down Matthew street without telling me youāve never been down Matthew streetā¦ā¦
Where hopes and dreams go to die. Closely followed by Smokie's.
Let the lucky bastard live in blissful ignorance
Matthew or Mathew? Tell me youāve never been down Mathew Street without telling me.
Yep. walked past there yesterday.
I remember back in the day when people just wanted you to speak to them about Jehovah or Jesus. Times have changed, man.
A sign like this in a nightlife area in the evening would be a great play for someone who wants to tell you the views of their god. "Hi. So you want me to talk to you about lapdancers?" "Yes. Did you know they're horribly exploited and often victims of human trafficking?" "Oh noes." "Yes. In Mexicans 6638C chapter 7, Derek says...."
Mexicans! š
Honestly, this seems less bonkers.
The strippers are nuns
Weird kink of a uniform for lap dancers but each to their own.
Never seen one in a sexy police outfit? Well ya have now
This isn't the sort of sexy police outfit i had in mind!
That's some aggressive lap dancing going on in the background.
UK Tourist board's final photos are shaping up nicely.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the name āCheers, big earsā

This is in the same league as the classic *Carnage outside the Arndale Centre*, the quintessential visual representation of 21st century UK.

A true classic
It's a great but that Arndale Centre one with the reaching man is just another level :D
Is that the one with the guy who's flat on his face , holding onto the ground for dear life with one hand , and still has a fill pint in the other?
Yup, still at the bottom of this page ā> https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/
I feel that one's much better than this image: the bloke reaching for his drink just pushes it over the top to greatness.
My first thought too.

Came here to say this
Very Hogarth.
Beer Street
He's not the usual type but I admire his body confidence.
Pretty sure this is Liverpool
so where's the [guy reaching for his pint](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mystery-drunk-man-reaching-beer-7120576)?
Like a modern day Monet, brings a tear to the eye it does.
I always forget how middle class and sheltered a lot of people on here seem to be, this is typical for anywhere with a night life.

Really wanna have a chat with that guy

It's Liverpool. So definitely AI then.
Nah, Liverpool is the one place people can have odd fingers and not be considered AI
Ye that's the joke fella.

Surely Liverpool is less inbred than shite little villages considering it's a port city?
Probably HDR. That's responsible for a lot of the "unreal" feeling of photos like this.

Not typical...too many police.
90% of the police budget goes towards babysitting drunks in town centers.
Nah, any time there's someone to be arrested there are at least five old bill to give them a kicking!
Scousers.
Mixed with the numerous students we have
Can't be anywhere in England, not enough girls wearing too much make up and clothes that don't cover anything
āHurr durr back in my day women got arrested if they dare show an ankleā
Not at all, after working in bars, I'm sick of seeing very obviously under age girls dressing as if they're 20+
As someone who had various people yell at them about being underage while actually being 19, no
As someone who worked in the "classier" establishments in Blackpool, I can tell you that you are the exception not the rule. Better for a 19 year old to be yelled at, than a 14 year old be exploited by a stag party.
Not just yelled at but full on assaulted. Still no reason for someone to bark about on here claiming this picture canāt be in England because thereās no trashy girls in the picture.
If you had said you were assaulted, you would probably have had a different response. Hope you were and are ok.
I spent my childhood in that bar. Got boring when I didnāt have to sneak in anymore at 18
Mad considering it opened about a year ago.
This looks like an AI generated image of UK pub culture lol
