'It used to be full of bleach blonde perms and deep tans'
Comedian and actor Steve Coogan has sent a touching letter to a pub in Greater Manchester that once served as his local. The 58-year-old performer, who originally hails from Middleton , wrote to the Roebuck pub in Alkrington after it reopened last month following a major £1m revamp and a name change back to its original.
In a personal message sent to the pub’s new owners, the Joseph Holt brewery, he wrote: “Good luck to the Roebuck. One of my locals in the 80s. It used to be full of bleach blonde perms and deep tans…and that was just the fellas! Responding to the message, Mark Norbury, Pub Director at Joseph Holt, said: The Roebuck offers a warm invitation to everyone. And we have let Steve Coogan know that whenever he is in town he can be assured of a hearty local welcome and a drink on us.”
