Pub Olympics: A Blast from the Past! Step right up and witness the exhilarating chaos of the 1980 Drinkers Games at Torquay's famous Cat and Fiddle pub. Forget your average cribbage or darts, because landlord Eddie Thomas and his crew from Printers Elbow have taken pub games to a whole new level. In this photo print, we see a group of brave souls engaging in one of their more energetic pursuits - bottle walking. Bob Marriott, a stout fellow indeed, demonstrates both skill and agony as he balances precariously on two beer bottles while venturing out into the room. The crowd watches with bated breath as he hops back onto just one bottle, defying gravity with each daring step. But that's not all! The Drinkers Games also feature bar divers who risk life and limb for some good old-fashioned fun. News copytaker Jan Meyer fearlessly takes the plunge while her trusty catchers eagerly await her descent. These unconventional pub games may appear deceptively easy but don't be fooled; they require nerves of steel and impeccable balance. As participants compete for glory at Pub Olympics, chairlifters and bar divers alike will face tough competition from their Printers Elbow counterparts. Join us on this nostalgic journey through time as we celebrate these extraordinary moments captured in our Memory Lane Prints collection.
