With free tea and biscuits.<br /><br />They could then stand up and say "I'm Nev, I used to drink in the Dog and Duck until it got knocked into a Tesco Express" and others could say "Well done, thanks for sharing, we admire your strength" and such stuff.<br /><br />The absence of these groups is frankly a disgrace.<br />Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.com
