Just thought I should share this example of how the whole world is related. We have a little African girl who has recently started to come to our martial arts club, she was from Gambia, West Africa, her parents knew editor of the Gambian newspaper our daughter worked for and her aunt owned the book store that Gail did book reviews on, it doesn't stop there the guy is a professor of medicine at the same university as Gail, there are 12 people from Gambia in the whole of BC , a provence larger than europe . There must be similar stories out there .

I'm going to kick start the funny pub stories, My old buddy from Trimdon will confirm this funny tale. We were working on a construction site, one Monday morning in the "bait" cabin comparing hangovers when one old guy says, ypuve never been drunk till ye've sh#t yerself, n' ave been drunk three times. And then proceeded to relate the said incidences. No doubt there is someone out there can top that one for funny. As is the nature of construction workers the conversation sunk to toilet humor, but thats another story.

Hi Peter, older by three years, so you will confirm the fact you could get a half pint for under a shilling! Also we didn't abuse the privliege either and if you did and got a smack around the head for it , you took it like the lippy kid you were. A lesson for todays genration. Ther ya go I am sounding like a grumpy old fart again. I read the novel " The Forest", " London " and "Sarum" , the authors name eludes me ! Some one ought to write an historical novel about the pit villages.
Regards from BC

I think i am a little older (58) than you George... but i recall sneaking down to the Wingate Arms thinking we could get a quiet illegal pint(tastes better when you might get caught)on entering the establishment we crawled up to the bar so as not to be noticed...and...from out of the one of the side rooms came the shout "howay in heya" we were not the only ones sneaking a quick half!!! all of our m8ts were too!!oh happy days!!
