Does anyone know The Bricklayer's Arms near Putney Bridge. Again, it's over 45 years since I was last there (I had my 21st birthday party there in 1970 and later got arrested for trying to walk along the parapet of Putney Bridge - but that's another story). It used to be a big, heaving, scruffy place with lots of weird stuff hanging from the ceiling and utterly disgusting toilets. I used to go there with singer/songwriter Kevin Coyne and Nick Cudworth (who were then in a band called Siren) and a bloke called Billy who'd come second in the British Beer Drinking Competition and liked it because it was the only place where he could get his beer in quart glasses.
