A "Rovers Return" theme pub in Munich

Could such a concept work, and do we want one?

Seems The Times Online of all people have come up with the idea of Rover's Return theme pubs spreading across the land and further.

Now, i think most people in Munich believe we need another inn to replace the much lamented Murphys, how about a Coronation Street lookalike?

QUOTE
ITV is looking for ways to increase revenue and are thinking they could license a series of Rovers Return Inn theme pubs

Could it work , or is the idea alone an abomination?

But who would be whom? Having stopped watching Corrers about 20 years ago I'm still of the Deadrie and bad Ken generation. Who would play them?

The prospect of bumping into Ena Sharples or Minnie caldwell on a night out fills me with dread! As for Elsie Tanner ohmy.gif If the landlady is going to be Annie Walker as well, I think I'll pass.

I'd rather go to a Queen Vic theme pub than a Rovers Return.

Would be nice to know there is somewhere that you pop into and have some of "Bettys Hotpot".. smile.gif

Not quite the newest idea on the planet! I remember in the ´late ´70s in most large SF bases in NI we had mock English pubs with exposed beams, horse brasses the whole village pub thing. (Called Plastic Pubs)
It was to make the guys feel comfortable and at home. Unfortunately, I grow up in post-industrial Glasgow and the Saracens Head (Sarries Heid) in Glasgow is far removed from from Ye Olde Village Boozer. wink.gif
Nice gesture from those on high though! Wonder if they still exist! Must ask on arrse! smile.gif
