I think this is very good point and well made and certainly something that needs a full and frank discussion on here at this timely moment. Once it has been done to death, ww will chip in with a very funny story. I presume you mean the one about Bowen's dad, the manager of Merthyr, a kitbag and a field? |

And so the county's top beer drinkers venture to Leominster the night after the day before. What better place, you would think, than The Press Room with its much vaunted array of craft beers? Hobson's Town Crier usually on the menu.
The same saturnine girl behind the bar seemingly congenitally disposed to stopping the beer precisely one inch from the top of one's dimple glass. "£4.60" (no please.) "By all means, if you'd be kind enough to put a bit more in." No comment, but in goes another entirely begrudged half an inch.
Assume seat with view of Jarrod Bowen on a pennant in Corn Square, reflecting on the fact it's £3.80 in the south of the county and £3.90 in the west (when it's on.) Two or three other patrons, needless to say with beards. "What time do you close?" "7 o'clock if we're not busy."
They weren't; they never are. How is "we're" singular?
This barrel of Town Crier's been hanging around for 7 and a quarter days, one would say.
We repair to Wetherspoons next door. An altogether more oral experience......
£2.46 a pint. Over-priced.
Go back to sleep, Leominster.

I called in at Leominster a year or two ago on my way back from somewhere in wales.
Not having been there for decades I had some long held memories of what a nice little place it was.
Sadly it isnt … it really seemed “down on its luck” you could say.
Or you could just say what a dump …

In the mid 2000s I was told that there was a bit of a situation when someone in whatever went onto be the Co-op (Gateway?) spotted inappropriate adverts in one of them little advert racks you used to get.
You know the ones "missing cat" "gardener" etc.
Except there were a few of them that offered sexual services via the migrant fruit pickers. They had been there for a while apparently.
Not much of an endorsement of the effectiveness of that method of advertising seeing as noone had noticed.
Also it is quaint to think that they would have been sat in their caravan on some farm in north Herefordshire "this fruit picking is hard graft, not amazing money either, what if we advertise romantic services in the local supermarket next to - Tabby Cat with Blue Collar missing - Contact Ethel".

I always thought the "missing cat" ones, were the sexual services offers.

When I last went The Grape Vaults was the only acceptable pub, I think. Chequers, perhaps. White Lion surprisingly improved.
The Bell seemed ruined. Three Tuns Horse Shoes* is a One Costas. Black Horse sent to the knackers yard, I believe. Black Swan resembled a run down youth club. Hop Pole has beds in the bar area.
Poor people.
*surprised that I wasn't pulled up on that error. Can't have read it.

You really should stop sneaking on that retirement care home bus trip. Its for the residents, no matter how well you fit in. |

The Grapes Vaults sells Ludlow Best, Blonde and Gold, AND two changing guest ales from other breweries. Obviously not checking thoroughly. |

🎶Jarrod's on fire and he's shagging Dani Dyer🎶 Dani dyers satisfied. Bowen’s on fire. I think that’s what hammers fans were singing. |

I believe that it was simply "Bowen's on fire and he's shagging Danny Dyer".
A harsh way of breaking the news to his missus. BUT THE TRUTH WILL OUT.

Ive got an idea for the squad builder.
Its called Beat A Benny.
Whereby each individual pays £5 to take a penalty kick against one of the original Benefactors.
Any goals scored the Benny pays in double.
Perfect.
Even Mr Kilpeck will be down at that one.
Bullet toe punts aiming straight for the face, maybe.
But its a winning idea
"Beat A Benny"

Obviously at Meadow End. Beers flowing. Free in. Everyone will want at least a few goes...massive money spinner.
No outlay, big bar takings, no brainer.
Get a few old players to kick off proceedings, Purdie 1-0 (pen) first obviously. Climb over the wall, pay your fiver, tell people you scored at Meadow end. Everyone's a winner.
Small outlay for the Benny.
Big feelgood factor.
