Don't torture me. I might start remembering how a pint of Adnams cost 12p in the college bar (and Rothmans were 27p a packet).

Hello.

It occurs to me that at this time of year we probably get sunrises earlier than you here. Todays is very pretty.

Fresh Beef since May 2018 around here. We get the weird German and Spanish variants, now and again. We are currently having McRib sandwiches again. Still no lobster roll, like they have back east.

May 2018! I wouldn't call that fresh !!!

It’s raining here yet again. A brief reprieve yesterday, but now back to the wet.

Only a pint? I should think that would be a whole schooner and then some.

The price of beer in pubs is horrendous now unless you go into one of the weatherspoons 'Cattle Sheds', you can pretty much get a bottle of Californian Chardonnay or Merlot for the price of a pint.

Sir, Sir, Sir I can play this one, in the Blue Bell in the Tap room you could get 3x pint Whitbread & 3x packets of Walkers crisps for under a £1, 27p a pint & 5p a packet of crisps. But woe betide you if you tried to sneak into the Best room with your Tap room pint, it was a 1p dearer in there & guarded fiercely.

No cycling mugs here, but lots of mug with trains, or locos on them. collected from visits to Heritage railways. About twelve of those, and a Flying Scotsman Teapot.

Also lots of Cat themed mugs.

Personalised, no less...

From Tony at Rock Cottage in Wales who does crazy stuff like run a smallholding, raise a family and climb the three highest peaks in Britain and cycling between them in about 36h, but still manages to maintain a (warped) sense of humour...
