..............Rohan
Regular, or more importantly long-standing, readers may recall a tale of a local lad called Rohan and his brilliant exploits at schools sports day. I have another Rohan tale that again tickled me somewhat.
Rohan popped into the village shop for some sweets. He made his selection and Postman Pete came back with the somewhat conventional "That will be £1.25 please Rohan"
"Ah, well the thing is Pete, mum and dad don't like me to carry money so can you put it on their account please?"
Genius.
Alex and Gail had no idea about this until they had to take out a second mortgage to pay for Rohan's sweet bill. Mind you I think they were a little concerned when they saw the subscription for "Esquire". Apparently Kelly Brook is a particular favourite.

By the time you read this Lynne and Barry will have left "The Bell".
As ever there are all kinds of rumours about the new landlords. Apparently the pub will be shut for a week whilst kitchen extensions are being carried out. This is a good thing, the pub will only survive if the food side picks up a great deal.

Friday morning now. The pub had sold out of almost all its beer by 10.00. I'm not sure what I am impressed with. The number of people who turned up or their drinking capacity. Hammo was there, naturally.
One last note before I leave you for this week gentle reader. The annual excellent beano that is Fristock is looming and tickets are going fast, very fast.
Book yours soon or be square. (That's not quite right is it?)
Anyway, Live Long and Be Toastmastered
