About 12:30 and a fair number of customers in already, we had a good chat with the landlord who told us that he had strong views that pubs should have clear and easily understood opening times and should stick to them. I agree. A good collection of used rail tickets is building up on the side wall.

Found lots here who escaped from the 39 steps and the packed pub. Conversation yet again was how cold should a beer be.

Late afternoon to early evening. Two customers at the bar and another couple came in during our visit. We sat on the comfy sofas by the window.
