Go to the top end, turn right, about 100m is a bar which in its present incarnation is called Snoopy's ( stupid childish name) for the last week it has been closed and dark. Old timers tell me, how many lives has this location had. For some reason every attempt to make this place work fails. Its a mess, about four little rooms with no sense of the place making sense as a whole. Can't believe how much money must have been lost at this site.

I frequently see this abbreviation "TIT" used - what does it mean? :?

Thanks for a comprehensive list of abreviations, if I am not mistaken, BIB = Boys in Brown, i.e. like you say - the Police, but thats the abbreviation?

The MV vs Vm is one I actually have pondered, not sure if it was the same thing (Market Village) or not, now I know its two different locations :)

Thanks Frank,
I've been uncertain about "BIB = Boys in Brown" since some of them wear black.
Will update :-)

Yes, it wasn't a bar for a long time and was actually two seperate premises, I think when it was first built it was an estate agent to the left and a sandwich shop on the right but that was some years ago and my memory might be failing me.
