Re: Thats no apeman

As good as lived in that pub from the mid 70’s to its “refurbishment” in the mid 80’s. Never once saw any grief inside. The local CID where easy to spot as we all knew the reg plates of the MK2 Escorts they drove and the fact they only drunk half pints. Barbara was great with her “we’ve had your money, now f*** off!” at closing time. One time I moaned at Dave that the fire in the Kent bar wasn’t burning well. He suggested that I buy a large brandy to throw on it to get it going. So I did. Didn’t work….

Back to the “apeman”. For a time a couple of the bikers slept in an old wardrobe on the common. Would freak out the early morning dog walkers as they emerged from it in the early morning mist!
