I'm hoping it's framed and has pride of place in the front room.

I think you'll look fine ...

Whitstable Bay comes in cans and is a good session ale .... tastes OK at field temperature too.

It's 'Ripple Wine' and I know this because I was so bemused singing along last night that I went and looked it up. You're right, it is (was) disgusting. "Ripple was a fortified wine produced by E & J Gallo Winery that was popular in the United States, particularly in the seventies. Possessing a low 11% A.B.V., it was originally marketed to "casual" drinkers. Due to its low price, it had a reputation as a drink for alcoholics and the destitute. It was popular among young drinkers, both underage and college students. It is no longer produced." I suppose Thunderbird won that battle.

and some good places to take the weight off your feet with a nice cup of tea and some crumpets .... and ..... and .... shit we're old.

Gah - that's a shame. I got very excited on my commute home when 'Lightning Bar Blues' jumped out from the the playlist. Anyone who covers obscure Hanoi Rocks tunes from *checks notes* 1982 (bloody hell) would have me down the front. (On my own?)

This is great news - excitement levels are through the roof today. (See you there).

I'm impressed that you're able to make informed choices by teatime on Sunday. I'm normally well beyond guessing tent sizes by that time.

This also coincides with getting older!

I can confirm this statement ....

Is that a pattern I see before me?

Does this now mean you've got to make another hat?😱

Like this you mean?

NE & See are two very different operations. This is how it should be done whereas See are a shambles, especially the London lot.

As others have said there is plenty of room in Darble & Pylon, but you can still head to the south-west. Bailey's and even South Park will have room at a squeeze but the best for Thursday arrivals is the green oasis that is Back House tucked between Baileys & Dairy. This one is only opened on Thursday morning and is hidden on all sides by hedges. No through traffic so guaranteed grass even during a muddy one.
