Thanks Coff, I really do need to open my eyes a bit more. How about Royal Wooty Whatsit then ? I feel more affinity with that location, as a former K man, than Browse Crofton. A very fitting place for a thread meet I reckon. Fergineer should be OK if he goes overboard in the Med, the "Senior Service" will recover him and deliver his thirsty frame to the Bell. I have already found a few "hangers on" who are game for a night out, and, more importantly, Mrs Smudge has offered a return trip to the venue. Who's up for it then gentlemen, a date is all that's required, venue seems good. For those who need a night stop, I can offer a double room, plus a single, full English next day, at no cost as required. Could be a decent do !
Doug, is that the Five Bells we are discussing ?
