Fantastic

Very useful - I need a new umbrella

Great Idea! I would worry about vandalism and or a ram raid though! Someone could just back into it with a car and then fill their boot!

Not everywhere is like Devonport, Dazz.

It would be handy out in the little country towns where most shops seem to close at the same time as the chooks go to roost....

Touché.

There were too many pubs in town, so we had to remove the "Middle Pub" from the pub crawl.  Now there is just the "Top Pub" and the "Bottom Pub", plus the Red Velvet Lounge, The Lotus Eaters and the RSL. Pretty good for a town with a population of only 800. BTW Dazz, Veronica says hello, she wants to know who Miss Warren is!

Sounds a bit like Kapunda used to be, we used to have five pubs within fifreen minutes walk of each other,or 50-60 minute stagger,they now only have four,the Railway burnt down,was always a bit suss about that.

Many Many years ago(when I drank)I kept them all going.
