Canadian Pacific Tug Boats
Kenny,I dont know how you get out so early,I have to do the dusting,hoovering and scrub the front step before I can get out.As regards the bar staff and customers not knowing me I keep a low profile and i always believe in the old addage ,once the bar staff get to know your name it's time to change your pub.The truth of the matter is Kenny I go out at 3pm until 7pm that to you is most probably to late.The horse racing does'nt start until 2.30pm.Keep in touch Ken all the best Jim.
Regards.Jim.B.
