Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere and and different spin on the worst towns thread. Can anyone find a more depressing looking bookies than this one in Caldercruix? @Hedgecutter must have spotted a few on his travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Caldercruix - that photo is somehow less depressing than I always imagined it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 A number of years ago I had numerous jobs to fit new routers in Ladbrokes, Willie Hills and Corals for all these FOBT's. It was one of the most soul destroying things I've ever had to do at work. Ladbrokes are definitely the tinkiest of all the bookies, though.

For the avoidance of doubt (and of the law), I mean to stop punters wasting their money on them as opposed to allowing you and I to share in the profits.

The 'gambling lad' image in general gives me a similar urge. Becoming a 'legend' for spunking £300 on a suicidal bet for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Went in once and it stunk of pish, guy drinking a can of super tennants whilst sitting at the FOBT. Coupon on and out the door, kinda glad I never won, didn't fancy returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 If you're walking into a bookies in 2016, you're 100% certain to be addicted to fags, super strength lager and leather jackets from charity shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
