Delighted to hear it Vic -
The County Arms brings back memories
We were part of a Pub Quiz League and we were matched against 'The County'
We turned up to find four of the biggest men we'd ever seen, all sporting bunches of keys hanging from their belts - they were warders from Wordsworth#th Prison, over the road.
We slaughtered them so definitively that, as we were leaving, one of them took our somewhat diminutive captain aside and whispered in his ear, "you'd better not get sent down to our nicK"
There's a lesson to be learned from the way Young's operated
They refused to have juke boxes or piped music in their bars, as a result, they were always full
