Wandered down Howfen market st yesterday afternoon ( saturday ).
White Lion - in and out doors . Few young ones outside.
Vic - normal scroats are uz faggin it.
Spoons - Queing to get in.
The Brewery Tap.
Walked in settled for a perch in left hand window.The Dog arrived. Landlord walked over with 2 pints of Blonde . Waved my bank card at some sort of device.
Excellent pint quickly knocked back. Promptly replenished.
No standing at bar allowed , but if you have a seat you can wander over and order.
All very civilized. No mither.
Moved onto The Beer School . Very similer experience , 30p more for a pint though.
As usual had a four legged friend sniffing at my bag of nuts . But thats part of the charm of The Beer School . They have also managed to get the council to let them clear off the rubble between them and the Wheatsheaf to create a large beer garden. Will be spot on when the sun returns.
3 pints later i grabbed a curry from Balti Taste and went home. No mither.
Today went to check on Uncle Col in the flats.
Sat outside his back door had 3 bottles of various ales and put the world to rights . And discussed the merits of older gentlemen sporting mohican hair cuts .
All n All not a bad weekend.
