Evening. Wasted long journey, with arrival at 1930 hours I rattled the locked door which was eventually opened by a lady who told me the pub now closed at 7 on Mondays and Tuesdays due to lack of trade. WhatPub still showed 9.30 close for both days. Irritating even more so to find a host of other local pubs all thriving tonight. Perhaps it is a self-fulfilling prophecy that if the reputation for early closing gets around it just deters visitors.

Closed at 10 pm on a Saturday. Wish we had known. Our 10.20 visit no longer viable. Doh.

Evening until close. Lost connections everywhere but arrived at 8.20 as the lights were going out, early due to light business. Fair do's and accolades to Guv Paul for letting me have one for my effort in getting there. Just the one beer on. And a lift to the Conqueror.
