1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nye down to the Jonesy no matter

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: arounds of the pub test, and today it's all about

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: King's Cross. It was formerly the sedious, most sellacious russ.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm ready and raw and interesting.

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 3: When you're a young person, you go up there.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: I remember riding my motorbike up there and I just

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: But lots of people now live in that area who

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: need different things, and the city has changed. We've had

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: lockout laws, we've had lockdown laws with COVID. The face

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: of the Cross has changed, and there's new gentrification, as

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: they say, new housing developments, new shops, all that kind

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: of stuff, which is going to be changing the flavor

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: of the Cross. Some people are saying yay. Some are

15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: saying it's a shame. So naughty Cross or nice Cross,

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: which one passes the pub.

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 4: Test, It's got to be naughty Cross.

18
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 5: I'm thirty five now and I went to all the

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 5: nightclubs and still work in the city, and I was

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 5: great thing. All the young kids coming out of nightclubs

21
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 5: scattered and still off their heads.

22
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 6: I like the Nice Cross because I feel safe going

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 6: there now too wet night plat getting well.

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 7: I like both because I lived up there, and I

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 7: moved out because my daughter got too familiar with the lights,

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 7: the strip lights when we went for a us go

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 7: for walks in the morning of the night, and she

28
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 7: used to get too familiar with the strip show lights.

29
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 7: I said, Oh, it's a bit. I think it's time

30
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 7: to move out of here. But the old place is

31
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 7: still good and the new place is boor him.

32
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: So growing up, I remember going into the Bourbon and

33
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: beef Steak, which is quite an eye opener as a kid,

34
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: and today it's the Cross was a naughty cross. There's

35
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: no way to take my kids there. However, I do

36
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 3: believe that it should now become a nice, clean cross

37
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: to compliment the city that we have, which is so beautiful.

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: So a clean cross for me.

39
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 4: Well, it was that whole Bohemian culture. I'm talking about

40
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: eighties King's Cross and promoted art, promoted music. There was

41
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: songs written about it, there was live bands everywhere. It

42
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: took away all that culture and all that art, and

43
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: I think that's a shame interesting perspective.

44
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: The last time we were there, you had as stressed

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: as John and Oko Lennon.

46
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: Yoko, John and Yoka. We said, ok, Johnson, you has

47
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: dropped a y that night it was our Christmas party,

48
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: it was well, it was in the seventies.

49
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: And then we had to walk through King's Cross and

50
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: you didn't. And this is a problem with stupid costumes,

51
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: because it's all well and good when you're at at

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the venue, but then we're walking through King's Cross on

53
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: the anniversary mind you of Johnlennon's death, and I'm just

54
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: as John and your dressed as yore going on.

55
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: When you say you were walking, that's a loose term.

56
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: We tried to fold you into a cabinet, refused to

57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: take you.

58
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: Good times, good times,
