    Odd Smells

    Several weeks ago I went upstairs to go to the bathroom - there are 2 flights of stairs in the hallway and the sitting room where we smoke is shut off from it. Anyway as I approached the bathroom door there was the strong smell of cigarette smoke in one small spot. No smell anywhere else - just...

    Thanks for the condolences but it is someone from an extended part of the family. Very sad all the same. With regard to happenings there is something I need to check on but I think it might be nothing. No more smells anyway.

    Weird Personal Names

    Hysterical! I would change my name. A good mate of mine and I used to look in the local paper at the Bonny Babies Competition just for the weird names there. One year they had Chelsea Bunce and Diesel Portia amongst others I cant recall now.

    Most Haunted star Derek Acora has passed away aged 69 after a short illness. Thought I would post it on here as he has been mentioned a few times. Will he return from the ether to communicate with us I wonder? ( tongue firmly in cheek here).

    Thanks IbisNibs. My Mother passed away just after midnight Boxing Day 2015 and it was that Boxing Day we had the very strong smell of Lillies.

    The Everlasting Mystery Of Teaspoons

    For reasons neither of us can work out we have had cutlery go missing these past few weeks. In the end we were down to 2 Forks, 3 knives and some spoons. Bit of a mystery where they went to and we don't have a dishwasher. Last week had to buy a new set of cutlery and hope things don't go missing...

    It would be interesting to delve into the history of this pub to see what it might have been in the past.
