Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Stan - its interesting to see the "Butchers Arms" described as the smallest Free house in England. I always thought "The Little Gem" was the smallest Free house in kent!

I don't know, always wary of such claims myself.

I've been to the Little Gem and it is just that - very small and a Gem!

Yes some of these pubs really are a haven aren't they Skinny.

Yes - 13k looks a cert today - crazy yanks.
