23 Jan 01 - 04:18 AM (#380275) Subject: Red Lion FOR SALE From: Llanfair Buff told me yesterday that she has put the Red Lion on the market. Sh hasn't been 100% well for a while now, and wants to retire. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the landlord from the Black Lion doesn't get it, or anyone who will want to change it. Just thought I'd let you know, and it hasn't changed the plans for the gathering in the autumn. Cheers, Bron. |

24 Jan 01 - 12:25 AM (#381002) Subject: RE: Red Lion FOR SALE From: JedMarum Where is the Red Lion? I am sure there must be loads of them, but I stayed in Henley-on-Thames at the Red Lion. Oh the stories I won't tell! My first trip to England ... I managed the driving and the ale OK - but my pocket kept filling up with those pesky coins! My dresser was covered with 40 pounds worth before I realized I didn't need to use a note every time I bought a pint! |

24 Jan 01 - 01:16 AM (#381029) Subject: RE: Red Lion FOR SALE From: Jon Freeman Jed, there are loads of Red Lions. This one is in a place called Llanfair Caereinion, near Welshpool in Mid Wales, not too far from the Wales/England border. Jon |

24 Jan 01 - 09:25 AM (#381186) Subject: RE: Red Lion FOR SALE From: SINSULL How much does a broom closet cost in London? And does everyone in Wales sound like Jon Freeman? Morticia and I could make this work. |

24 Jan 01 - 12:24 PM (#381334) Subject: RE: Red Lion FOR SALE From: Llanfair No, not EVERYBODY sounds like Jon, some sound like me!!! The cost? Well, if I win œ100k on the lottery tonight, I would be the next landlady, and have enough left over to buy a big car!!!!!!! Cheers, Bron. |

24 Jan 01 - 12:45 PM (#381357) Subject: RE: Red Lion FOR SALE From: Morticia that's an idea.....how about a Mudcat syndicate so we could own and run our own pub? Folk music every night, jello pit next to the dartboard, a permanent place to stay for those in need.....sounds perfect to me. |
