Bump

Morning all.

there's a great story i heard about my old man and one of his drinking buddies at a pub in aston clinton.

i think at least one of them must have had a particularly good month because they got into a competition about who could buy the biggest round in the boozer.

sounds like a real city type wheeze but they were not city types and aston clinton is a long way from the city.

anyway the rounds got bigger and bigger. one of them (not sure who - i must ask) left the pub. was it over? was it heck - he'd been knocking on doors asking people to come to the pub...

i suppose that explains why their companies went to the wall.

i can't remember the name of the pub but i can visualise it. on the hill up to tring opposite the turnoff to halton... always had a huge double diamond advert on the wall... i think it is a residence now. cock-a-google-do...

I think it must be a residence now. There's the aforementioned Crows Nest further up the hill, near the roundabout for the new motorway, but that's a quarter of a mile from the Halton/Wendover turn. And it's a hotel as well now.

There was a good team in our quiz league from Quainton. Bunch of geezers who worked at Equitable in Aylesbury. Can't remember the name of the pub - Carpenters Arms?

only one i've ever been in was the george and dragon on the green. lovely spot. the others are swan and castle and the white hart.

Could be the Swan. The Carpenters Arms was probably the team from Stewkley. Their second team called themselves the Carpenters Armless.

That's better. Two pints of a pleasing substance from Tring Brewery, served up at a pub in Ivinghoe Aston.

Are you listening Duck, Cliff Hercules, er ... can't think of anyone else famous connected with Aylesbury ... anyway, your pubs took a hell of a beating tonight!

Some of those posts will get a lot more than 45 seconds.
