We're currently fighting here to save the Regent Theatre. The Regent was long ago made into a multi-screen complex, but has been usurped by more modern cinemas.

Midnight showings and the buses stopped running @ 12:01 which may still be true.<BR/><BR/>When they became the Vic I always loved their Money-back guarantee. If you left in the first half hour (or was it longer) you got your admission back.Ted Godwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561985719529647307noreply@blogger.com
