Wetherspoons hotels are usually clean, air conditioned and comfortable and in central locations. I've stayed in Shrewsbury, Birmingham, Henley, Andover and now Tewkesbury. The only disconcerting thing I've found strange is coming down for breakfast and there's the usual Spoons pissheads having...

Over breakfast I overheard two couples discussing horseracing and they seemed quite knowledgeable until I heard them talking about I am Maximus, yesterday's National winner. It went something like this "Well if he wins more than one National his stud fees will increase and there'll be lots of...

I can thoroughly recommend a crawl around the Tewkesbury pubs. Good real ales in all of the ones we visited and friendly, chatty yokels. In particular I would recommend the Berkeley Arms, the Black Bear and the Cross House tavern. We stayed in the Wetherspoons which was comfortable and...

I think that the black and white timbered building that you are referring to is actually the record shop which is next door but one to the Berkeley Arms. Phew, another thread saved from being derailed into pub talk 😂😂😂

Happy birthday @Andreas Rex, hope you've had a good day.

I know they spell things a little differently down here in Tewkesbury as in the pub sign but the ingredients of the second pie down sound a bit dodgy 😂

Typical Germans, no friggin indicators either on the front 😂😂😂

Probably tax free too!!!

And a Warwickshire bear playing a cello on a pub fence in Gloucestershire????

This is in Tewkesbury

I tried to pay some cash at the Lloyds in Market Square a few weeks ago because I thought the Halifax had already closed. Despite being in the same banking group they wouldn't accept it unless I had a Lloyds card. Eventually I paid it into my NatWest account and transferred it over. I think I...

We sat at that table once. Never did it again 😂😂😂

Will there be racehorses jumping this fence on Saturday? 😂

The customers that you are referring to, whinge about everyone and everything, there's loads of them go into the Bird for their pensioners' special and spend most of their time there nurturing a cuppa or the same drink for hours. They whinge if there's the slightest change to their usual menu...

Salt n Pepper 18/4/24, that's pushin it 😂😂😂

@Glam, I misread this part of your post as your sister or ward manager would be inmates of your sanctuary and "get rid" meant you wouldn't put them to sleep 😂😂😂😂

I shoulda known that shouldn't I? 😂

Has it really taken you six years to read that post? Were there too many big words for you? For the record I liked the humour of @Withnail's post not necessarily the semantics of "of" versus "have" but grammatically he/she is quite correct. From one of those village idiots that you mentioned.

In Cromer it was sunny intervals on Friday and Saturday and warm enough to sit outside. Then a bit overcast on Sunday with intermittent light showers during the day followed by heavier showers in the evening and tipping down on Monday when we came back. All in all it was a nice break and it...

Also sunny in deepest Norfolk🌞🌞🌞
