So, the 10th arrived and London Piper and I had an excellent drink in the Royal Oak. We were suitably chatted up by the female bar staff and Landlady and we even entered the pub quiz - and although there were mainly students there training for University Challenge, we did manage to get a few of the answers that they didn't (age has something to do with it!).

Thanks to the two or three of you who left apologies - I'm afraid my mobile didn't get a signal once I was inside the recesses of the bar.

So, guys, what about another evening and a real go at turning out? Incidentally, they do food there until 10pm, so we could grab a bite to eat too. Alternatively, LP had a few ideas about other places to try out of town.

What say you?

Best wishes
Graham.
