Subject: RE: The Three Stags Hastings.
Hi Backwoodsman
Well us Cockney Londoners who used to pop down to Hastings has children for the day or for a weeks holiday were given strict instructions by our parents before heading off on our own to the amusements or the caves on the cliff side.

Be back at 1 o'clock for your dinner. we will meet you at the Fisherman's Huts.

Clearly I understand the locals have there own time honored names for the huts but thats what my late mother called them and i am afraid the name Fisherman's huts has stuck.

Getting back to folk music in pubs in Hastings The Standard down on the sea-front which adjoins the old town is another favorite place of mine for music I have had many a recent session in there?

The last time I was up The Stag there were two young lassies there who played the Penny whistle,s in duet the likes of which I do not think I have heard the equal. very talented.
