Salubrious premises

Post by JG »

Ludicrous Somerset accent.

"This week, I 'ave been mostly takin' pictures of licenced betting offices."

Hey check it out! Hey check it out! Hey check it out!

Give it a second to load up the streetview bit.

You likings?

Yes, that is Mulliner Street Hills, flagship William Hill branch for Houventry.
I call it the garden shed, although it's more of an outdoor toilet that has been converted to a bookmakers. Inside that door lies a 2metre squared floorspace and squashed within there are 15 thousand Somalian pirates and one harrassed bloke in a suit doing his plums on roulette.


This is the bookmaker forum, but let's have some pictures of wierd big brands in wierd places. If not, just chat about Mulliner Street Hills and how unWilliamHilly it is, bar the fascia that reads William Hill. I mean wtf? Come on ffs, anyone got a William Hill in a converted phone box? A swimming pool foyer? A church?


Our Father, who art in PLACE YOUR BETS heaven, hallowed by thy <<sound of roulette addict placing a million 25p chips all over the table>> name, Thy Kingdom come NO MORE BETS PLEASE thy will be done on earth as <<sound of roulette wheel spinning>> as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily BLACK NUMBER 8.....bread <<sound of angry mumbling ....grrrrr this is rigged, always next to the number I wanted>> And forgive us our trespasses <<VVVRRrrrrr whirrrrrr VRRRRRRRRRR - do I need to tell you that's the notechanger?>> as we forgive those who trespass against us PLACE YOUR BETS and lead us not into temptation <<that bloody noise again....oh not so prolonged, think he's doing £50 on red>> but deliver us from <<wheel spinning>> evil, for thine is the kingdom the power and the BLACK NUMBER 8 for ever and ever. Amen.

Silence Reigns.

FOR F*CK'S SAKE THIS IS RIGGED

Rushes up to Vicar......"£20 on number 2 please."

"Yes my child."

Hare running
BRrrrrrrrrrrrrriiniiiiing "they're off"


And now, let us sing hymn number 286

All things bright and beautiful......there is the odd profanity in the background, but the over zealous efforts of the congregation drown out the dreary offtube commentary and the sound of someone kicking a FOBT near the FONT.
