“What did you do while Sheffield burned, Grandad *?” Hey ! Isn’t 42 the answer to life and stuff ? It’s also at least 20 degrees too hot for pubbing so I shall be continuing to write this rubbish to upset Welsh linguists and beer enthusiasts alike. Now, there’s two (2) Spoons in my Last… Continue reading TROLLEY SERVICE IN MORRISTON SPOONS

SWANSEA – JACKASTORY
Last time out you got a programme from 67-68, the year Manchester City began their 50 year dominance of the League Manchester.

The best one is in Warrington, the one in Stockport is genuinely terrifying but at least there’s good pubs nearby. The discussion* about Swansea‘s revival tends to focus on the marina, but… Continue reading SWANSEA – SKATEBOARDS, SPOONS (AGAIN) AND SUMMING-UP
DEEP SLADE DARK BY THE GOWER
We were on the home strait now, with a last Welsh stop in Gowerton on the edge of Swansea. Two minutes off the M4,unless you’ve got a tall campervan in which case it’s twenty minutes to avoid the railway bridge. The bikes came off the back for the first time Caernarfon but oddly only I… Continue reading DEEP SLADE DARK BY THE GOWER
