    DM you ought to travel as far as South of France as I am sure Mr TS would take you over the local brewery for a visit. I went the other evening as they had a bit of a "do" as being visited by the national CAMRA mob. :beer:

    Sorry Dave I did but didn't know anything about it, I hardly go to S'ton, it's just that bit too far from home. :o

    No problem, thought I would ask, sure they will make us welcome, ...or I will turn the heating down ;)

    Well the pub I mentioned is a camera pub. But that sure sounds like a good invite, but France is a bit far for a 3 hour session ;)
    Blasted weather, 28c this week, rain all next week when I am there!! I blame the French!

    They poured mine and DD3's cokes in half pint glass beer tankards, looked like we were drinking stout. :rotfl:

    Her new young man thoroughly enjoyed himself though, first "family" outing for him. :eek:

    Tell you what though, I might hold you to that next year when I come away with my friend, would make better train times to accommodate it.
