Quite right, Beechy. Seem to remember they had an open fire in the snug. Always a good stop off to and from town on cold winter nights!

Re: history
Like the Act of Union? Or do we go back to the Stuarts? The Glorious Revolution? Culloden? The Irish Question? The British North America Act? (oops, sorry about that one, it just slipped out). Henry V's widow banging that Welshman? Stephen and Matilda? Sir Cuthbert Collingwood's dog? Mary Queen of Scots?

Used to be a regular in the Palatine in the 60s, my mates Dad was th landlord, went in again in the seventies when a lad form Hassy took it, he then moved on the the Heys in Ossy, He was called Alan, but can't remember his surname for the life in me (which ain't a right lot these days )
