It's always intrigued me why we don't mark this huge turning point in our nation's history. What better excuse is there to dress up, wave flags and weapons, and celebrate the English love of defeat.....
Yes.
I raise a glass (a crystal cut one no less) to the only date in history that EVERY English person knows, the date that clinched a million pub-quizzes ;-)
Then I raise it a second time (and more sincerely so) to one of the best looking pubs I've ever been to - The Pumphouse in Hastings Old Town :-)
No AP, opposite is the Hastings Arms. The FILO is in the High Street which is around the corner and brews it's own beer. There are a lot of nice little pubs in the Old Town. If you pop down again give me a shout and I'll meet you for a beer.
I know that some people may not agree with me, but I find that Molly cuts through all the sh!te and tells it like it is. Still a brainless Lady, though.
Jan, I haven't heard of that one ...Oooh, a micro-brewery, just my thing!
I love the area around The Old Town/Rock-A-Nore Road - where all the bikers gather and the chips shops make me go ...ahhhhh ! I'll let you know when I'm there next.
