    This is my Lambretta which I won in March this year.
    I call it 'The Purple Turtle'
    For a bit of fun, I would like you to guess why I called it 'The Purple Turtle', no googling stuff please.
    The winner, or whoever gets the closest will get a bottle of wine.
    No arguments please, this is not the politics thread.

    A longshot, but did you nearly **** yourself hurtling across cobbles on it after eating a hundredweight of beetroot?

    I know it well; I used to work in Castle Street, just along the way from that bar. There's a great CCTV clip of a bus nearly taking a bloke out just outside it.

    Because it's purple, and turtle is the only thing that rhymes

    ...apart from Myrtle, and she'd never speak to you again

    It's nothing to do with the fake hoops area.

    Sorry be busy. The Purple Turtle was a pub, but not in the fake hoops area. It was a pub that me and my mates used to go to in Cape Town, sadly closed now. Always went there on Rugby and Cricket tours.
    Will sort out who wins a bottle of wine.

    I feel stunned that none of us guessed it was a non-existent pub in a foreign country that you used to visit Nigsy :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0148-yes:
