We’re (kindof) back home now. In the Bridge Hotel. I have a nice Atom beer.
It’s a beautiful bridge, isn’t it.
This is quite possibly the most overpriced beer ever (purchased at Peterborough station).
I wonder whether the ridged design of the can means that three times as much metal is used in production.
Or is the special shiny-ness achieved by intensive hand polishing? Or, perhaps, the can is actually silver plated. And the paint is really enamel.
Even if all of the above were true, £2.99 a can is a bit over the top.
North Street Bar, a bar on North Street, was a favourite of ours. While it didn’t open until late evening, it was a regular last stopping point. It stayed open until the early hours and could be relied on for cool, chilled live music.
Sadly, the bar is no more. Worse still, it’s been replaced by one of those vile places that specialise in desserts.
We’re now in the Draper’s Arms, raising a glass to a dearly missed friend.
