Long time no speak chap, how's it going?

I may try and make an appearance at the festival this year as I've not been before.

Had an Aunt who claimed to be able to read tea leaves, is this the same sort of thing?

Hello mate, it's been too long. I keep meaning to tag along to one of the meets but now having new mrs, new house, new clients etc., etc.

Plus, I haven't got my car back yet (not that that matters).

I'm going to pop along on the Friday so if you're around, it'd be great to catch up If you like ale, it's really worth going.

As a very local resident, I'm gutted I can't attend. Puggit Junior mkII is due on 8th of May and I'm not allowed to drink more than one drink so I can drive when needed

I went last year on the Saturday, then into town after

I was thinking of going and taking the kids because I have heard they have entertainment. I heard stories of it taking around 1 hour to get in at busy times. Is this true?

Best turn up prior to getting thirsty then

Think I may pop down for a jar sometime over the weekend, especially if kid's entertainment is on offer.

I may wander along to this..

we tried to go twice last year on the friday at about 6-7pm it was one in one out and it took us about an hour to get in, on saturday we went about the same time and it was still one in one out and the wait was about 3 hours. but last year it was sunny so it may be totally different this year!! as for kids entertainment, ummm i dont think it was someware i would take them, it was loud very busy and only a few oldschool pub games there to play on!

This is always worth a Friday afternoon off to pop into......anyone else fancy an early start on Friday

The sun is shining, the lefties have lost Reading, and I'll be sampling the fare within the hour. Have a nice weekend folks

Blimey, queued for nearly two hours to get in. I don't remember much after that
