    I still pop in there on my way home from my Concord haunts. Drink the Smooth in the tree. Never bother with Champs but used to frequent Chevvies when Fred was in charge

    I can understand it with lager, but with heavier beers it's weird.

    Mr Riggs make good wine (apologies for the delayed response as i've been away for work)

    There 2020 "The Gaffer" Shiraz is available at the cellar door for $25 a bottle. About 13-14 quid. Would you like me to find out if they deliver internationally? It's about 10 minutes from my place.

    Failing that i could try to get one and send it to you or at worst take a picture of a bottle wrapped in a Sunderland shirt :)

    Looks like it may be available in Belgium and Germany https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/mr riggs the gaffer sra mc laren vale south australia/1/uk

    That's very kind of you Ozzy and I appreciate your kind offer but I will wait until the next time I am over in Australia. I have just had a look around and Dan Murphy's are selling it for $21.99 and it's currently in stock so I might get my brother in law to get a case in and I will transfer the money to him.
    Knowing him. he will drink it before I get there :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I am very odd (probably) I find it easier to have an alcohol free month than to give up chocolate for a month!

    Aye, he was a canny bloke Fred, got on well with him.

    Haven't been in for about 10 years or so now. It's changed a lot since it first opened mind.
    Can you remember when there was bar in the back called Cherries, with the barmaids with next to nowt on?

    We went to The Cask Lounge, opposite the Town Hall in 'Sheels, last night, where they always have a selection of real ales :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I had a few little tasters and ended up drinking

    Just been given a case of Carling, a certificate and a pin badge for 20 years service at work.
    I know I can put the certificate up in my office at work, and wear the pin badge, but what the **** do I do with 18 cans of Carling?

    It was late 80's when that was going. Barmaids just had things like basques, bra, knickers and stocking on...left just enough to the imagination....was canny.
    That was when Ian and Sandra Evendon owned it.
