Climbing the front of Barclay's was a rag week stunt a few times in the 70s.

The pub in question. From 1970 for a few years they only opened at weekends and I think 1975 was the first year they opened during the week, possibly a bit erratically. Anyway permitted hours were just that, they were permitted to open during those hours, they didn't have to.

Noah,
Ah that explains it, and never quite being an ordinary pub is what's been so good about the Anchor all these years.
It's "Landlord promptly opens the door" that ruled out the Anchor for me as Graham would have been working in Birmingham.
I think it was weekends and weekday evenings from 1970 until 'normal' hours after 26th May 1975 when we put on a beer festival in a marquee there.
I presume that holiday was quite some years before you moved to these parts.
And were they rolls rather than sandwiches back then ?

How long do the passport office take to admit they have documents? Had these 3 days according to RM but the website still doesn't admit it
Message today to say it's been printed, should get posted in a few days. Thats 31 days so far from the date I had someone verify the photo, just in case anyone else needs a passport quickly.
Just realised he'll get a crappy blue one, luckily he's getting a burgundy one while on our first trip with this. Do you have to use the same passport to enter and leave a country? Looking at best ways he can avoid the queues!

I don't think you have to use the same passport.
In any case how would they know which one you used unless they scanned each one?

No. Last time I used my UK passport on the UK side and my EU one on the EU side to avoid being buggered about on either side.

I guess I'm stuck in the third nation queue anyway, but at least him and his mum can get ahead!

He'd get a stamp entering the EU and another leaving, if he uses his UK one at that side I guess. So if we use it going in we should going out too, but then he'll have another to use soon as we get that when we're over there.

I got lucky down the M5 today , traffic flowing freely all the way despite warning signs of 'reported obstacle ahead' but nothing there at the time......no warnings earlier on though of the lone rogue traffic cone suddenly encountered in lane 2 on the M6 by jct 10
Trying to avoid the temptation of a sauna & swim in the hotel pool until tomorrow. Just paid over 100 quid for my hair , so want to at least have tonight's Greek restaurant night out with son & his girlfriend while it's still looking good, before ruining it!

I thought the thirty shillings my mother used to pay was extravagant.

I've not had my hair done since this time last year.... Due to my back pain I can't go get it washed & done, but maybe it's time for a dry cut, if they still do them....

I don't know how anyone can say they find the experience relaxing. I dread going , not as much as the dentist but a close second.

After a good night out in a Greek restaurant, rounding the night off in a nice dark candlelit old fashioned bar listening to heavy metal music

I hate the hairdressers more than the dentists, but there's no way now I can sit at that sink, it hurt enough before my back injury.... Glad to know I'm not the only one though.

Up until 1975 yes but then at the pub at times.
