    Doesn't taste too bad but was hoping we could encourage St. Austell Brewery for Shirt sponsorship - has anyone heard of any news in that department.

    It's to keep northerners out oldnickyb. Everyone knows that Janners can drink from either hand but northerners have trouble finding their mouths with either. So up north it's right hand to hold the glass and left hand to hold the straw. Simple we don't do straws in this Bar.

    Morning all, sad news I'm afraid, I stayed ALL night outside The Samaritans and he did not turn up.

    I'm wet and cold, so is it too early for a pot of tea and a bacon roll please??

    Ah there, there Nicky, you must have known he wouldn't turn up, you also know that first he has to admit to his problem.

    You should have taken a flask and something to nibble............you sure he didn't slip in while you were shivering in a doorway.

    That's better Mrs R, many thanks, I'm feeling myself again.

    Plymborn, The Samaritans take a dim view of people turning up smelling of alcohol, I did however take a curly wurly, but that's another story.

    You are right Mrs R, I give uop now, I hope you read this DS and feel ashamed of yourself, it was so cold that my curly wurly became stiff and frozen.

    I'm sorry to inform you of a worrying development,you might want to leave town for a few days.

    Today (9th) I did the dasterly deed of booking two nights of BB in a nice little place close to the Hoe..........I promise not be a nuisance and cause any trouble between Mon 11th 1600hrs and Wed 13th 1600hrs in the Plymouth area.

    It will be very unlikely because I will have my minder with me, and in the 47 years she has been in control of my life I have never escaped or had the chance of shouting EUREKA I've done it.

    I cannot remember the last time that I visited the City of my birth, possibly a wedding or a bereavement years back, we have started visiting places from the past,last year it was Muswell hill / Alexandra park area of N London were my wife lived between the ages of 7-14 yrs.

    Obviously nostalgia kicking-in in my dotage years,would just like to see certain places again........such as if it exists, which I doubt now........the Alexandra maternity nursing home........the house in Embankment Road, Prince Rock is exactly the same (google map ). Not long after I was born Hitler decided to change the landscape as you all know,I could have taken it personally, I can remember when mum visited her mum after the war the ruins especially the Church (name escapes me at present) so will be a good time.

    Plymborn, you only live in kent not Australia, why has it taken you so long to visit???

    St Andrew's church was partially destroyed during WWII but was rebuilt - not that I was around, I'm far too young but the city's history tells the tale. Charles Church (on the Drake's Circus roundabout) has been kept as a ruin, a permanent memorium to the civillians killed during the war.

    It's a long way to Plymouth if you go eastward Mrs Reid.........You are right I have been rather amiss. I apoligize for my lack of dedication to the cause.

    I hope it isn't compulsory to re-visit places you have been before at a certain age. Some of the places I've been in this World would make the Devil blush.

    Has this Bar turned into a soup kitchen?
