Take a couple hours drive up the M4 any sat night and you`ll find plenty shubeens kicking up in bristol,...I was there only a few weeks ago,and I stumbled out of one about 8 in the morning,...took me some time for my eyes to get accostomed to the light...not to mention for my feet to remember that they go infront of each other.

No that was Railton Rd, Sandringham Road was the main Frontline
north of the river in Hackney.
