Unfortunately, Mary is long gone and has probably taken her collection tin with her. I believe she's in a nursing home back in Ireland. Surprised you didn't know as you've often mentioned your love of The Castle, which to my mind means you probably haven't been in there for getting on a decade.

They're having a giraffe.

Not East Dulwich but not that far either. Malumbu will be very pleased. http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/11734844.Forest_Hill_pub_is__the_best_in_London_/?ref=fbshr

^^^^^^ What Seabag said.

Those three have to be in the SPL to make it remotely interesting whether you're Scottish or not. It's rubbish without them.

I'd like it how it was in the 60s and 70s with three bars and a great restaurant. A massive garden with an outside bar attached too.

Oh god Mrs Brown's Boys, just an advert for that makes me want to puke. See also Miranda.
