As I mentioned last week, the end of the year is in sight and yet the end of the list of pubs isn't. Not being ones to make life easy for ourselves, we carried on as usual and faithfully failed to knock anything like a hole of substance in the remaining targets.
We did however well and truly demolish the Royal Oak from the list. This used to be our regular every week pub, but times change. There was a landlord here who was a good sport, told the worst jokes, was a buffoon on the golf course and actually a pleasure to be around (once you got to know him). Stupidly things didn't work out for him and since his departure things haven't worked out for the Oak either. The 'spending money' patrons migrated up the road to the Wagon & Horses and for whatever reasons they haven't been enticed back. The result is the embarrassing situation they were faced with last night, when they actually cancelled the pub quiz on the basis that we, as the only team playing, would have won our own quiz contributions.
A pointless exercise, I'm sure you'd agree.
Next week the official 2nd WTC Pub Crawl of 2010!
