Do You Miss The Pub?

I fell off Cromer pier once.

Was the tide in?

Was it a bad head wound Bonce ?

Not a scratch. I fell off the breakwater in Whitby too. Luckily there were a lot of people fishing near the end of it, and they pulled me out. I've never learned to swim, which is probably surprising to most people who know me.

Just back from the pub. Technically it was a bike ride. but we happened to pass the pub on the way home so we thought we'd check it out. Thoughts are:
* I'd forgotten how good a nicely pulled pint of Ghost Ship is
* The young 'uns tried to hug me and I had to tell them to back off
* They hugged each other
* The layout was sensible but it's obvious that the rules aren't being followed.
* Missus asked if we had to sign in - as per guidance - and landlord told me someone would be round with a form but it didn't arrive
* Had some brief conversations with folk that involved shouting and sign language
* This is lunchtime. F*** knows what it will be like tonight but the missus isn't keen on me going

Conclusion: FFS take care folks. A couple of pints in and already common sense was going out of the window.

Was that you cycling through Brancaster?

No mate - too far away for me and the missus as it's on the north coast and we're near the east coast. We did a bit of the Weavers Way up to Blickling.

Disgraceful scenes last night near me.

I really do dislike people.

Your are in a lovely part of the country there. I particularly love that North Coast area from Hunstanton to Overstrand. We have stayed at Titchwell Manor a couple of times, there are some really good country pubs and that coastline is so accessible and interesting.

I'd like to say the Queen is practically a neighbour but I can't as I live 40 minutes from Sandringham but know the coast well - it's 9 miles away. Nice here for an old bugger.

That explains a lot.

It was pretty obvious this was going to happed TBF.
