SIR – Lists of user-friendly bars (Letters, July 1) will always lead with Maurice’s Peacock Inn in Nottingham, during the swinging Seventies.
Bells on the wall would bring pints of Shipstone’s in a jiffy, delivered with banter from another era.
I knew the pub well. It was located on Mansfield Road, just up from the site of Nottingham Victoria station and opposite York House where I worked. Many a happy lunchtime and after work sessions. The lounge bar had a bell system. Activate the bell push and Maurice would appear, tea-towel over his shoulder, take your order and reappear with tray and drinks and non PC banter. Happy days.
