The Voyager in the early eighties. Anyone remember drinking there during the early eighties ? The manageress there was great and ran the place very well. However, just in case anybody got to carried away, she had a huge Rottweiller called Luther who would wonder around and size everyone up.
You know, just in case some crowd control was required !!!

Unfortunately I also cannot remember his name (was he called Derek ?), but I remember when it happened, he was on a life support system for a few days and a very sad time it was. This was followed by another tragedy for the mangeress when her new partner met an untimely premature death a year or so later.
