You've got some nice machines there Matilda, especially Hot Stuff.

I've not seen a Hollands, but from what I've been reading on here, I don't envy those who have it as their local!

next is a cashino pretty dire couple old favs a darts 25 and a 15 robin hood, set of monops 5ers that get an awlful lot of play pinched a few good raises on them - staff are twats

both always have more staff than customers, the independant used to be 90% across the board but they've quietly turned them all down to between 70 and 80%

rarely bother with then now unless i'm in my home town bored and wanna kill a couple of hours

Welcome to Exeter? robins Stash!

Indeed tis Exeter, and what a shithole it is.........

The two big arcades down West Street, Brighton really have gone to the dogs.

I remember about 10 years ago when i worked in Brighton they woulld be heaving!

I suppose they only have themselves to blame when they first introduced Section 16's and took peoples homes.

Bookies roulette machines and internet gambling also have a large part to play.

they do indeed m8 ,,,,,,,, thats half the problem for us

general joe looks at his options ,,,,,,,,,, hmm do i go down the pub in the cold weather and pay £2.80 for a pint , and try to win on the fruits that (being belfruit in general ) always seem to cost me £10 for a board , which i will get two moves on before getting game over

or do i sit at home , with all my home comforts , playing microstakes online , drinking four cans of the same beer for £2.80?
