"<br /><br />Barrow? That's one of them Furness places innit?<br /><br />"they realised I was a pukka bloke (or is that just the pies I have stashed in my bag for later?) "<br /><br />Pies in your bag don't exactly rate you as first class Si. ;)<br /><br />"like someone who thought 12:05pm was far too late to start their Saturday drinking (which I did)."<br /><br />Quite agree. I make sure that I get the Saturday shopping for the wife's truck finished and put away at home before 11am so I can crack a cold one. :)<br /><br />"the GOAT-CD (Greatest of all Time Cumbrian Dog) "<br /><br />I'm familiar with GOAT over here. But for some reason I thought GOAT-CD was a beginner's manual on how to be amorous for those of a certain religion.<br /><br />"Jim has possibly just swallowed the highlighter pen"<br /><br />That would be confirmed when he turned... green. :)<br /><br />"Another new brewery tick, look at me, beer expert!"<br /><br />You should write a book! :)<br /><br />"You have to be adaptable in this pub ticking game, and that isn't something that comes naturally to me."<br /><br />(bloody bankers) :)<br /><br />"the more outspoken lady telling me "you are basically a trainspotter!", as I explained BRAPA"<br /><br />LOL. That makes sense in a way.<br /><br />"shit hanging from the ceiling (not literally)"<br /><br />Did you taste it to be sure?<br /><br />"leafy greens and autumnal ambers with the sound of running streams ......."<br /><br />I find leaves and green go hand-in-hand; and good thing you'd had a pee before the sound of running streams!<br /><br />"'THE BEST' Fish and Chips? Pub doesn't lack self-confidence then."<br /><br />Pfft. The place where I live has the audacity to bill itself as the 'Salmon Capital of the World'. <br /><br />" And don't forget the 'piss de resistance' the gents toilets,"<br /><br />(slow golf clap)<br /><br />"Bogs of the Year"<br /><br />Blimey! I'd be afraid to pee!<br /><br />"Well, there's always one."<br /><br />Yes but... he has two pints?<br /><br />"I'll tell you about that (well, not the bus journey) tomorrow."<br /><br />Looking forward to it. :)<br /><br />CheersRusstovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-65448078034931177102019-10-21T23:11:32.163+01:002019-10-21T23:11:32.163+01:00Always check with the omnibus driver where you are...Always check with the omnibus driver where you are going, even with a day ticket. I frequently ask them to give me a shout at my stop. Foolproof method, unless the driver forgets.<br /><br />Lake Windermere does not exist.<br /><br />Please do tell us about the bus journey to Grasmere.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963891586230251906noreply@blogger.com
