20 Problems Only People From Southampton Will Understand
10. Trying To Stay Current On The Name Of The Square Balloon
It was Provenance, then Myth, then... is it Switch now? I'm not sure anyone cares. I remember when it was the old ABC Cinema, you know. Saw The Neverending Story in there in 1984, Ghost and Pump Up The Volume in 1990. But for a whole generation, this spot has been The Square Balloon, scene of many a drunken squaddie battering at 1am on a busy weekend. Those of us who found it a little less easy to blend in kept our heads down, just in case any of the townies loitering outside the Square Balloon decided to take home a scalp that night. Ahhh, memories.
