Not too many of them have survived to this time.Stan Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963655096635414472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-49770481561435772752008-10-04T20:08:00.000+07:002008-10-04T20:08:00.000+07:00Hi--new to your site--great stuff!I've never had t...Hi--new to your site--great stuff!<BR/><BR/>I've never had the privilege of visiting such a fine establishment, except the Hollywood version.

One night, he said 'No, make it the un-usual - I'll have a Bitter' - That WAS his usual. From then the term 'unusual' just stuck.<BR/>Andy; I'm revisiting The Lindow, circa '82-'83. Here, in Thai, it's like back in the old days now - 24 hr opening has been replaced by two sessions in many places, and 2am is the std closing time.Stan Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963655096635414472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-80148281794162532342008-10-02T23:07:00.000+07:002008-10-02T23:07:00.000+07:00Don't you just love pub-poetry?

I loved the alliteration in the middle and the line about ordering the "unusual."
