Showing ny ignorance I dont know what "that bridge" is but I am not planning on it.
I will drive to the centre, leave the car at Brownlow hill and walk to the pierhead. Tour is 10.45. For lunch I fancy one of the Lebonese that are springing up but Mrs D fancies Maggie May's that does your bog standard nosh like plates of scouse etc.

Would @Dirk enjoy a pint of it though?

That Bridge was made for a James May show, I think it was made from Mechano, I do not think it was there long, certainly I have never seen it.

Off for a bar lunch soon. Brother and sister-in-law treating me for my 60th.

Hope you had a nice lunch Mo
Is it your birthday today?
Best wishes for whenever it is

Morning doggie walk done at Broadsands.
Back good for a quick coffee, then a long walk around to my local for Sunday lunch.

@classic33 - does this pint pass muster? Bath Ales 'Gem'. Very drinkable session ale.

Bet he finds something to question

Still quite cold here. Steak, egg and chips for us today

No full roast?

 

[172traindriver]

Appears to be a fairly new glass (very little marking on the exterior of the glass) which is usually caused by stacking. Causing damage to the interior. Easy checkable, just make a note of the numbers on the glass.


@Dave7, your views?

Thought you would find something to make an issue of

It looks good, it tastes good and by golley it does you good.
Or is that a different beer

He just likes being controversial

Unfortunately the other side of the country from you, Lincolnshire, but plans are not to stay so you may have to make room for us.

I remember watching that James May programme.
Didnt he also make some other stuff out of mechano? Wasnt there a vehicle and he took it round the Isle of Mann?

Look on the brightside.......if you weren't "old" you wouldn't be allowed on this section of the forum, with such nice company
