Re: The Bluebells are Coming
Totally agree. There is a wood between the villages of Charing and Pluckley, in Kent, called Little Pipers. The bluebells are breathtaking. We have taken a photograph of our daughter there every year from her birth and she is now 16.

Re: Price if a pint where you live
£3.70 for a very good real ale down here in Kent! Home of the expensive pint. Red Lion, Snargate, on Romney Marsh. Have seen Reedley Hallows on the pumps.

Re: When was your first served beer?
Tried my luck in the Hare and Hounds, Harle Syke. 1977 when I was 16 and looked 14. Landlord replied, "does yer mum know your out?" Brilliant red face and the laughs of the locals ringing my ears as I scarpered. Miserable devil.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I was bought a book called, "Saturday, 3pm. Written by a chap called Daniel Gray. Very enjoyable. A down to earth and traditional Middlesboro' fan, (I will not hold that against him), who has 50 reasons why he loves footy and the match day experience.

I bothered my local landlord in Kent to get a bottle, telling him it will go down a storm like it does in Burnley. He got two. I even bought a round of Benny and hots to start the party...I now have been threatened with being barred if I don't drink both bottles before Xmas.
