I AM delighted that the Winning Post is safe from becoming a supermarket, as reported in The Press on November 22.

I can remember it being built in the 1940s and we were so thrilled that it had pink glass tables and served cocktails.

We used to dress up on a Saturday lunch time and we would feel so sophisticated, although we were only in our teens.

To us it seemed so smart and “grown up”.
