didnt one Mr Fat Boy Slim work behind bar in the Panther??, I think him and Paul Heaton also drunk in the New Inn in Redhill(now a plumming centre) and did a couple of gigs in the Greyhound (now flats) obviously long before any fame
Panther had a good duke box and pool table it was a dcent pub...
surprised by that he was regulary barred from red cross,market and even the bell but never for long, would sometimes have a couple of "do as ya likies" in toe), there is also Melvyn Hayes (it aint half hot mum) he used to shop in Safeway not sure if doesnt now its morrisons though
