I guess that makes me a 'cool kid' then....... I think the landlady you saw in there was not, as it happens, the North's; Mary would not bring herself to venture into an establishment where people are giving their money across the counter to someone else....no, it was she from the Grapes. My opinion? I like the place; it's friendly, Sarah and Ian are good people, decent pint and on Friday and Saturday nights the only place with anyone in. Mind you, I'm party to a few in the afternoon generally, so evening visits are a rarity for me......

Eloquent, mrsvic, but then that's what I would expect......

Not sinking - mother was one of the first inhabitants. House still standing. Ground not falling. As for the empty patch of land, the original plans showed a group of shops and a pub. Still no sign of either.
