I recon the first one is dave.

Well that was very pleasant - always been a favourite pub.

I first went there over 25 years ago when it didn't even have a bar - you just sat in Audrey's parlour & she fetched the beer from the barrels in the kitchen - food was 'plain or cheese&onion'.

It used to have a sign which said "Dogs welcome in bar - there is a shed in the garden for children" - times have moved on, but it's still a cracking place for a pint.

[tonyav]

Glad you enjoyed it dave did you take your wallet lol

I hate to ask, but why play cricket with a hangover, surely a bat made of willow would be better?

[sunny-dave]

Yep - there's a pint in the pump for you tony - there until 5pm

:+)

Last time I went to a pub down that way you could have beers out the tap or cider ladled out of a large barrel out back which they wouldn't serve you in larger than half pint glasses, I don't remember leaving that one!

(BTW, don't you hate it when the italics do the &quote thing)

[tonyav]

Gawd blimey, I'd better get a move on then, dave.

[albaqwerty]

might be better after the upgrade chuck

[sunny-dave]

I don't allow myself the scrumpy these days ... too many brain cells destroyed per pint ...

[sunny-dave]

Good effort here - cooked an edible tea whilst running at "almost full, top up at regular intervals to avoid sobriety".

Arborio rice rissotto with chicken, leeks, mushrooms and bacon - since you asked, which I'm sure you didn't.

Moved onto the wine now (too full for more beer)

Hic, Burp ...

[tonyav]

That sounds very nice, dave.

[Smowball]

Lol, did you buy me my glass of wine?? or shall I pop over for a glass lol

[owdhamer]

Enjoy.

[sunny-dave]

I'll buy you one (and lunch) when I'm passing Smow ... planning next bike trip now :+)
