Around 3 - just a couple of others in. Guvnor said that the Four Fathoms opposite has been sold off by Sheps and reopened as a free house recently- not serving real ale so as not to compete with the Frog.

Just after noon - a table of four senior gents already deep in conversation.

Evening. As oft said before I wish this pub would blackboard up Brewery, Beer Brand Name, abv. It almost always fails to show brewery. My colleague thought he was getting a King of Horsham beer when he ordered Kings Citra but it was Mighty Oak Kings (which happens to be made with Citra hop). Very annoying.
