The Sn!pe's End Inn welcomes coach parties. If given sufficient notice
we can arrange extra supplies: replenishment of BA crates in the chara'
luggage space; curly sandwiches; Pickled On!ons; ditto Eggses; plain
cripps with salt in blue paper twists; you name it, we can get it.

The sets of darts have been counted.

There's plenty of running water, so long as you don't mind it running
downwards.

Yup. a coworker, born and brought up in Tikrit, a supporter of
Manchester United since a child had never been to Old Trafford but since
he came to the UK had been to every away game in England.

Me, who was brought up just down the road from there had no interest in
that Old Trafford although I must admit to more than a passing interest
in the 'other' Old Trafford.

Spring is sprung, the grass is riz.
I wonder where the birdies is.
They say the birdies on the wing, but that’s absurd.
I always thought the wing was on the bird.

That unforgets me of my last trip to that Personchester, a several of
years ago. I was supposed to be getting the train back, but all trains
south of Crewe were cancelled due to it being a bit breezy. I
eventually found a Rpemier Nin, which whilst full (no room at the Inn
!), booked me into the one at Old Trafford. They kindly told me where
to get a charabanc from, and which one to get. I was told to get off
when I got to Old Trafford. "But how will I know when I get there ?" I
enquired. "You'll see it" they said. "See what ?" At which point the
penny dropped with them that I might need some better destructions.

I did find the place, and the following morning, the big fan was turned
off, so I was able to get the train home.
