Hi Gervase
Yes, the beer was a bit iffy at Chippenham (and expensive at the Angel!) - that is after the first seven pints or so! Happily my voice has been ok since then (I had to drive from Chippenham so my intake was limited!)
So I could sing "Ale ,Ale, Glorious Ale", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and others tonight at a morris do - and thought of Sidmouth!
"In South Australia I was born ... !"
Wassail! Alan PS Please forgive us men Judy, we are only human!
