    The "Fosset Inn"? I had a flat down the road for about six months, while I was contracting back in the home town (Orchard Road; can't remember the number).

    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

        Mummy told me it's the "fosset" inn. I always believe what Mummy told me.

        Yup. Well, Havant, originally, but Pompey is where we were always stationed when in Blighty. I have got to get over there, this year. I need some paintings for the new house (and the Hot Walls is the best place in the world to find good ones!)

            Best pub name ever... The C0ck Welwyn Herts No? For those who do not know, Welwyn is pronounced Wellin and Herts is pronounced Hurts.

              I have a friend called Fred Hall. I always used to kid him that he should open a cheap wig shop. "F. Hall Toupee"

                I would have sworn I recalled that pub from years ago. Just off the A1. Went to look it up on Google and can't find it. Strange. Perhaps the name excludes it from searches? [EDIT] You mean the CLOCK[^]!

                    :( I can't stop myself pronouncing "Qing" as "ching".
