The eviscerated innards of her enemies?<br /><br />"it is like a South London suburb"<br /><br />Yep, Wiki shows the boundaries of London including Sutton. I mean, it's a stone's throw from both Croyden to the east and Morden to the north.<br /><br />"The sign that confused me"<br /><br />My guess is they've been in six times but only the last four were consecutive.<br /><br />"Canadian jeans and beer bellied vest wearing Savile ghost at bar."<br /><br />I didn't know there was such a thing as Canadian jeans. :)<br /><br />"and oh so 'Woke' that I'd have to invent a term for them, 'Twoke'."<br /><br />I like it! (thumbs up)<br /><br />"a barmaid of extreme cleavage served me"<br /><br />As the saying goes; pics or it didn't happen. ;)<br /><br />"but then remembered how hard it must be juggling kids and craft ale"<br /><br />I didn't know crafties and kids mixed.<br /><br />"you will feel obliged to 'stick with it' til our painful conclusion in 3 pubs time."<br /><br />Crikey! Thanks for the heads up (pours another beer).<br /><br />"So this was a bit of a let down from the get go."<br /><br />It doesn't help that Google Streetview says it's 'a bright gastropub and comedy venue'. <br /><br />"and what the heck is a "kids and adult lucky dip"?"<br /><br />Saw that in the photo. Not a bloody clue.<br /><br />"The over hanging sharp stars had me on edge throughout"<br /><br />Ah. The stars of Damocles. :)<br /><br />"Ooooof, well, kind of needed it after that match! "<br /><br />Pfft. It's only 6.5%. I'll be having 1.5 litres of IPA at that strength when talking to my brother on Skype for an hour later. <br /><br />"which seemed incredibly reasonable considering what I'd paid earlier for a much less impressive trio of drinks."<br /><br />And closer to the centre of London as well!<br /><br />"and apart from a fleet of police cars responding to some probably crazy incident,"<br /><br />I thought things like that and 'not normal' folk were part of the experience on your outings?<br /><br />"View of the pub and I want a grey tracksuit now"<br /><br />It does seem to pull in the ladies. :)<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - "smile of her face,"<br /><br />I think you mean on her face. :)<br /><br />"I kept expected"<br /><br />Expecting methinks.<br /><br />"has a calmer feel an older clientele"<br /><br />And, not an.
