Agree with what your saying especially now I've turned 40 and generally don't need the chaos of Westgate of the 90's but it's still a shame especially for the young ones they don't get to witness said chaos and when it was in it's prime. As I said It's mainly when mates coming back to Wakey drinking for the first time in 10/15 years want to hit some of the old spots, some of which don't exist anymore, expecting town to be just as busy & they leave thinking what the hell happened.
Tbh when I do go into town drinking nowadays, most of the pubs you mentioned are the ones we hit, with the exception of Elephant and Castle and Black Rock. But we usually start at Boons then work our way up to the The Priory, then across to Black Horse, Unity works bar, The Hop, The Printworks Harry's Bar, Beer Exchange and then down to Graziers then sometimes next door , then down to Fernandes before the crawl home.
