...The Cornwall adventure is just getting better...<br /><br />The smoking one eyed man - was definitely a smuggler - no doubt about it...<br /><br />I like the Spoons - nice old building.<br /><br />"Soon I was asking about the ales, secretly driving her towards the 'Special' by asking 'so what do the locals drink?' but she kept pushing back towards this guest pale.."<br />Obviously it wasn't for tourists....<br /><br />The old Cornish pubs look fantastic I guess that beach/ sea view is right outside the 5 Pilchards?<br /><br />Like Russ I remember seeing that toilet mural on Pubmeisters post - not one you forget easily - at least the photo was smaller on your post (and I wasn't going to click on it to make it larger!)<br /><br />I think out worked out the 'Part 2' reference...it's the second part of Part 2 isn't it?...<br />;)<br />PS - your account of the 5 Pilchards definitely had echoes of Animal Farm - great writing...<br />garden hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729468804899958277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-90278737779343989462018-06-16T04:48:16.612+01:002018-06-16T04:48:16.612+01:00"(usually me)"
This is my shocked face...."(usually me)"<br /><br />This is my shocked face. (LOL)<br /><br />"A one eyed man smoking propped up on a stick "<br /><br />Good heavens! His ciggy must have been huge if it needed to be propped up on a stick. ;)<br /><br />"but we all get caught short on occasions"<br /><br />I'd tell you about my 90 minute walk with my wife in the woods today but if she ever read this I'd be sleeping on the couch for a month!<br /><br />Let's just say, my new nickname for her is "bear" and that's one handkerchief I won't get back! :)<br /><br />"and his behaviour versus hers meant that I sided with him. "<br /><br />True, but as this is a Spoons he could've order a half for just over a quid. :)<br /><br />"And for me to say that after a ten year build up in my mind means it must be a very good pub."<br /><br />Pete Brown speaks highly of it in his book, "The Pub" (pages 102, 103). The Special made his head spin a bit as well. :)<br /><br />"Or do I protest too much? "<br /><br />Nope; fair cop. We've only had one taxi driver who we respected for this. Got lost taking us to our cruise liner in Fort Lauderdale. After finally arriving he only charged half of the metered price. :)<br /><br />"Five Pilchards Inn, Porthallow"<br /><br />I thought you were going to be two for two! Sadly though, the Hairy Bikers did the Three Pilchards in Porpello as opposed to the Five Pilchards in Porthallow. :)<br /><br />"Terrified, you should be."<br /><br />Bugger. I've seen that on another Brit beer blog recently.<br /><br />Aha! Pubmeister:<br /><br />https://preview.tinyurl.com/y7pwltyw<br /><br />"More of that in part 2 later on ......"<br /><br />Don't you mean Part 3? <br />(Lizard indeed - LOL)<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - "as if you say "can I even stop you?""<br /><br />Hmmm. Maybe 'to' instead of 'you'?<br /><br />"as my phone did it's usually 'freezing' trick"<br /><br />No apostrophe needed. <br /><br />" I tell you, outdoor pub = great pub."<br /><br />Well, unless you mean a pub that has no ceilings I think you mean outdoor loo, great pub. :)<br />Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-16975480325330621702018-06-16T03:16:47.719+01:002018-06-16T03:16:47.719+01:00Your posts last year and this year have really mad...Your posts last year and this year have really made me rethink Cornwall. I always thought it beautiful, but your convincing me the pubs are great. I always wanted to see the Blue Anchor; You've convinced me there is a lot more than that one pub.
