3 shops raided in stafford today for illegal tobacco/vapes, one was the Foregate yellow shop that has not been there long, and one near the vine I think from what I can tell, saw some activity with foregate shop rest was on ITV central news https://www.itv.com/news/central/20...on-the-latest-programme-for-the-west-midlands first few minutes.

A nice way of getting around Manchester, but a shame that the Coach and Horses opposite Piccadilly railway station was demolished for it.

Looks like it could've self demolished at any moment.

The threat of demolition might have permanently deferred a lick of exterior paint but the Coach and Horses and the Jolly Angler across down Ducie Street were ideal first and last pubs for a central Manchester crawl during the seventies and eighties. We'll never see pubs like them again.

Especially if there was a derailment

It's dreadful, isn't it. Puts the situation in the middle east into perspective...

Yup, no pubs there either and now look at it!

Imagine the Daily Mail's outrage, if they discovered a pub in Gaza with a name the reverse equivalent of the Saracen's Head..?

The Jolly Angler was a magnificent pub. If you were in there during the 70s and 80s, do you remember Dave?

Surely a diversion rather than a derailment.
Anyway, to get back on topic "today I saw" the interiors of five Rugeley pubs, and the countryside there and back with my bus pass.

Yes, I remember not only Dave but also how nicer the Jolly Angler was before it was knocked into one room.
I think it finally closed at the end of last year.

Don't fkn encourage him! Keep the ruddy pub talk in the proper section.

 

[Mudgie]

Which ones?

Plaza, Chase, Vine, Red Lion, Crown.
And - keeping on topic - I saw lots of dogs in two of them.

Sounds like Rugeley...

Well it certainly looked like Rugeley.

In the 19th (& into the 20th) century the Crusaders were an anti-alcohol organisation, so with tongue in cheek, a coffee bar in Gaza.

Was just so amazing how quickly the cloud cover came in. We'd gone for a walk up the Isabel trail, then onto the old part of the Graveyard.
Jupiter is just to the left of the moon.
