Bob was unique Karen and I spent many enjoyable evenings at Sgt. Pepper's with our pub family drinking good beer, having good discussions, listening to great music and wondering if Bob was in a good enough mood to risk asking him to make some of his great homemade chips.
On one notable occasion I recall his only customers Myself, Karen, Wanda and Carlton asked him for home made chips and he responded with - go to bleeping McDonald's if you want fries.
RIP Bob - Having Sgt. Pepper's...
