Just to make sure the beer or cider ok and then choose your favourite. Or just go for the pub with the busty barmaid. The breasts of a barmaid in Sale, Were tattooed with the price of her ale. And on her behind, For the sake of the blind, Was the same information in braille. 2 2 1 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of a lad's night out, we went somewhere, that would only serve halves, the barman relented in the end, he never got to the end of serving the round, because we were drinking faster than he could serve it. We then left, I don't think he was very happy with us. 3 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schooner Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 4 hours ago, KNP said: Do you have a date for this? Consistently captioned "circa 1922" which seems reasonable, 'tho no guarantee! Liferings, adopted by the RNLI in c.1855, look pretty standard from about 1900 on. There will almost certainly be dated Board of Trade legislation, and probably complementary PLA by-laws, if one felt inclined! Very basically - if you're out sailing, you want a bowsprit. If you're manouvering within docks, you don't (hence why they lift up!). Having one suggests (no more) a coasting barge, without a river barge. So, a barge in Little Muddle might be more likely to have one, but there's no right or wrong with it.
