why do the bars shut so early down here?
0100 hrs i expect the bars to remain open, we have had to move to the public bar?
???
I think actually congrats to Ted for ensuring a guarentee was in place for a bar that would serve until 3 and let people remain for a lot longer!
ok, i admit i had a grump on having to move bars, but now looking at my post, i'm actually quite impressed i could type it and still be free of typos at that time considering the liquids i had consumed. i was starting to wobble.
as you say, a great deed keeping one open to that time but actually i'm glad they shut when they did.
i woke up, head was numb and found i'd bought a track day, hmmm, with a 55 year old car, that will be interesting!

i'd hoped to win it but the beer got the better of me and my arm started to wave, i'm still shaking my head in disbelief.
i've never done a track day, don't really have the right car for it but keen to give it a go. the track may not allow my car on, i will have to check.
susanne has it at the moment (i hope), it is valid for one year (end 2004 i think) if i chicken out or am unable to do it due to distance or time i will let you know.
thanks for the complement, thats one of the good bits about being a scot, lots of choice about what to wear, DJ, kilt or trews (tartan trousers)

That would be brilliant mate, thanks!

I wondered who won that, but can't remember the auction at all
Nice to chat to you over dinner.The answer is (to the thread question)... due to the war.
Apparently it was because the munitions workers would drink forever. The government had to force the bars to close to get them home so they would continue with the war effort every day!
I believe the law has been changed and takes effect early next year (pubs, not hotels - who can do what they want anyway!)
