Hmmmmm - Tickets? All gone? The buggers told me it was free! Ah well. Restores my faith in Salford Council - I thought they had got something right for once...;-)

I'll certainly give the Ducie a good dose of thinking about. I still get a warm glow when I think of the lock-in Circa 1985 when we got in 7pm Saturday and escaped 3pm Sunday! The landlord at the time (don't remember his name - small Irish guy) Charged us a quid for kipping on his benches and 50p for a huge bacon butty and cup of tea. Then at 10am we got the usual "Can't serve alcohol yet but would ye like a Guiness while yer waiting?"

Eeee. Good times - could last the course now:-(

Might get there with a bit of luck and a good wind behind me.

Cheers
