There are a couple of good pubs there with a nice line in lunches.<br /><br />Two Bismarck sets? The lure of the North Atlantic and some Fletcher Pratt may be a temptation too many!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.com
