Evening's last port of call. Packed to the Sally Gunnells with a rock band playing. Fast service despite the amassed throng.

Evening 2220 hours. Lights off, doors bolted when the City is buzzin' with St Patrick's Day - doesn't make sense.

Evening. Caught my eye on way back to railway station and a most unlikely looking venue for real ale yet found it on sale through gravity stillages behind the bar. Friendly bar staff.
