Boxing Clever!
They say small is beautiful, and when it comes to bars they don’t come any smaller than the 100% Bass-supplied Johnny’s Bar. Recognised by the Guinness Book of Records in 1987 as the world’s smallest licensed bar, Johnny’s is housed in an old GPO red phone box.
It is just one of eight bars at the Marsden brothers' leisure complex, which has just become a major new Bass account. Co-owners of the business, Joe and Johnny Marsden decided to switch to Bass products after many years of “gentle persuasion” by recently retired territory sales manager, John Henderson and area sales manager Tony Parnaby.
The account is now handled by Howard Hollingworth pictured on the right.

At last – but not out of my best – I look a hundred! When I’m next up North I shall try and pop in.
I really enjoyed your excellent bar staff and the first pub/hotel to serve decent bar wine. I enjoyed the bottle very much and I still can’t believe the police allowed me to park on the double yellows – I’ll talk to the Met eh?
All love and best wishes,
I’ll be back – is Herbert writing to Gladys
