Beer was good, landlord very friendly and the ...

During the two minutes silence a cameraman, I assume the from the newspaper was moving around taking pictutes!! .. I was amazed ...

OK you're probably correct, but that doesn't help me much. Myself and a few mates are hoping to go out for a few drinks one weekend and I'd like to know the most popular evening to do so.

The answers to your questions are: 1 I don't know what caused the disconnection. I know nothing. I changed nothing. 2 I eventually called in Blackboard Associates (free advert) and only after Ian Birdsey spoke to the call centre in Asia did they accept that the problem lay outside this house. 3 The service was restored within 24 hours
