I'm sure we could trade stories on this stuff. I'm not sure it should be legal.
When we couldn't afford Newfie Screech, we'd settle for a bottle of Pinky. We would go around taking up a collection. "Pennies for Pinky."
 
It wasn't too bad in '88 but by '92 it had declined quite a bit. I think they stopped having bands in 1994. There's a video of the demolition of the old CBQ on youtube. Lots of American servicemen left here with Newfoundland women. At least 3 of my great aunts married Americans and moved to the US, so I can buy that the young fellas might have been a little put off. :D

Thank you! I'm happy that you have such fond memories of the place.

Newfoundland is stunningly gorgeous! And Gros Morne National Park is off the chain gorgeous

My best friend is a product of an american serviceman and a born and raised newfie woman.
