Taken last night, Queen of the Midlands, if not England.

Very nice day today.......3 sons and one Grandaughter here for dinner..which was taken on the Garden.......Two sons just back from the South coast where they had been working...and regaled me with their exploits....made me jealous.... Grandaughter (21) off to Greece later in the week for an holiday before joining the RAF.........The other son told me his future plans..which involves buying a boat and sailing off to destinations unknown........all have so many plans and all are single...so the world is their Oyster.......lovely to have em all together........well nearly all of

Back in 1978, whilst I was working at Tilmanstone colliery, xraying the miners, we were staying at a BnB in Deal. There was a pub there that we used at night and it was the mirror image of Cheers. To their credit, the staff and locals were just as friendly. Second night there was a darts match and I was invited to join the after match eats. They even let me score. I've never forgotten it as it so much like Cheers.

We used to get the letters of customers complaints passed onto us on the production floor after being dealt with, we’d then leave them in the tea bar to give the rest a good laugh Only skim read it, far to long & monotonous, glad to see you’ve not stitched up the lads on the road, you never know they might have family, mortgages, final warnings etc to deal with

My Mum used to say "money goes to money"........and it does seem to do that for other people

If either of their stools had been empty, we'd have loved to sit on them.

We 2, too. Didn't see Cliff or Norm.

We've sat in there, had a drink, but not a smoke!

I’ve met the Humpf & his brother who was his double, he lived @ Great Glen he was big mates with Nottingham’s Barry St.Ives, they both played in rival bands when younger & when Barry left the UK The Humpf took him on tour & games of golf, Barry was a good laugh to have around. Bit disrespectful @philmayfield to his family & friends to have this post in obituaries before he’s dead, shame on you, let’s hope God forgives

I know it won't happen now and i know the Bar is fiction.......but if ever i had gone Stateside'' i would have loved to have sat and had a smoke and a drink at this Bar.........

Paul’s cousin was his chauffeur for several years in the 60s/70s

Just had a phone call. MRI scan booked this Monday. Phew. They don't hang about.

Here's wishing everybody with ongoing issues, a positive outcome.

I think you're referring to Greyhound Street, which is now pedestrianised. There used to be a Kardomah near the end of here (there's a photo which shows it)...and a Keith Hall. And the bottom end of Greyhound Street comes out facing the Market Square. https://goo.gl/maps/VYq41WGfDhTjiZp27

Haven't heard that for years but now you've reminded me....people who were 'wappy'. Definitely used that when I was younger.

My Grandad always said "When one door closes, another one opens" Lovely man, terrible cabinet maker.

Today's Market Square.

1950's again...Pearson & Pearson are still there..and Morris's Wallpapers to the left.
