I've had many comments
from others who have. I
must admit that the majority
of people tell mo “never
againi”. Once, on a bus tour
in England, I met three
sisters who were having a
time resembling World War
Three, They were in their
sixties and the two older
ones treated the younger one
like she was ten years old
and slightly stupid. They
were horrified if they caught
her having a drink so she'd
run to the bar and order a
“double”, give it to memnd
drink two-thirds of it “when
they weren't looking. The
“Certs” company must have
shown a profit that year!

is now open & is looking forward to seeing
