Lads only grew those awful 'taches so they would soak up half of bitter, and then they could get a drink after time. LOL

My lasting memory of this trip is that when we got to the Bay Horse nobody was interested in playing bowls as the Challenge Cup Final was on. Until someone came back from the secluded bowling green at the rear to tell us that the Landlords daughter had fallen asleep, whilst sunbathing in a skimpy bikini, in the far corner of the green. When that poor girl woke up ten minutes later there were thirty blokes trying to play bowls in one corner of the green!!!
