Greenalls Festival ---- didn't stay with it for long ... mind you, my very first pints didnt stay with me for long.

Was then raised on Robbies ales and Old Tom. My uncle was the landlord at the Davenport Arms in Woodford (Thieves Neck) and he'd serve pints of "Father-in-law" (Old and Mild) and "Mother-in-law" (Old and Bitter).

It was our 'coming of age' local from the age of 15 onwards when the licensees were slightly more relaxed! Belhaven made some good beers at the time, including a fine light beer. My mum used to work in the labs helping the head brewer!

On the occasions I was in there, in the corner was a woman you wouldn't argue with. Very scary and very colourful language but apparently she was a retired teacher. They don't make teachers like her anymore.

Having attended Dunbar grammar school it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Funny place Dunbar. Very picturesque but rough as f*ck. I do hope the natives were friendly when you visited.

Cider; GL

Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but baby jesus teaches us to love our enemies
