A Question!

Does anyone remember a bar in Lloret called El Duke? A member called Ray asked this question on the message board. (I dont remember a bar of this name)

"Hi, I was last in Lloret back in 1996 staying at the Samba and there was a bar I went in all the time called El Duke, I think it was on the way to Fenals, I'm going back again in August staying at the Frigola and I was just wondering if this bar is still there or if it's a bar at all anymore?"

Some of you may remember Ron, here's part of his email...

I am originally from Warrington and was asked by Ricky Scragg (Then co-owner of the Cerdanya Bar with Robin Sabine) would I be interested in managing a bar in Spain (I was at the time manager of a night club in Warrington called "The Hamlet". Geoff worked on the door with me.). I said that sounds interesting when do I start, that was on a Wednesday, the reply was Sunday, so off I went, that was in 1973.

I managed the "Cerdanya" in 1973, 75 and 1976 returned with my now wife, in 1977.
