I have put this score on behalf of Dosser who is having problems logging on to this site. This is his score, not mine. He reports "Pouring rain brings in a full afternoon pub. 4 beers on. Good conversation about how many people in the pub were from Ramsgate. No one it seemed. I'm from Brum. 17 in but seems easier to distance here. Less furniture?"
