Evening. A few Welling Utd. football supporters still quaffing after the earlier home match v. Lincoln. 5 out of 12 handpumps offering "Available soon" is a travesty and is a wholly un-necessary annoyance.

Evening 2345 hours. Easy access but even faster egress as venue was closed due to an apparent sewage flood.
