Gave a quick ayatollah :ayatollah: but didn't stop for a proper chat. Wondered if he was on here?
Have you been to the Royal Standard pub in Beaconsfield? Possibly the most impressive pub I have ever visited.Quote:

In fact I once wrote a line in a song “ he’s the absolute boss of Gerards Cross, and you can’t get higher than that “.

I used to live near Colnbrook, a village literally a 'stone's throw' from Heathrow airport. There is a pub called 'The Ostrich', which I think dates back to the 1100's (I can't be arsed to verify right now at 2.45am here!) Apparently, it is the second oldest pub in the UK.Quote:

If you entered by the main entrance, you would need to duck your head.. folk were obviously smaller in stature back then.
That is an amazingly beautiful pub!Quote:
