Thursday afternoon and a good trade, some ladies were surprised to be told "We don't sell gin" a fact that surprised me but I noticed is typical of the pubs that I visited later in the day.

Evening. Welcome respite from heavy rain. Only a couple of customers in - that's Monday for you. Largely unchanged since regular visits 20 years ago thank goodness. Large display of Brains Craft Brewery range clips on the back fitting.
