Now, I know what you're thinking, but let me explain. This is the men's toilets in a particularly non-descript pub near Great Portland Street, the Albany if you're interested in visiting. It appears to be a semi-naked woman dressed in some kind of military uniform (presumably the dress uniform rather than combat, but that's just a guess) mimicking pissing into a man's mouth with a beer bottle. In my day graffiti was limited to just "Fuck Off" or, if they were feeling lyrical, "Bryan Robson IS an injury" but I will never moan about falling standards again. I like the way the whole effect and hours of work has been enhanced by plonking a hand dryer in the middle of it - but health and safety must be paramount.

Just across the road from Compo and Norah's houses!
The Black Buoy pub in Wivenhoe.
Wivenhoe is a town and civil parish in north eastern Essex, England, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south east of Colchester. Historically Wivenhoe village, on the banks of the River Colne, and Wivenhoe Cross, on the higher ground to the north, were two separate settlements but with considerable development in the 19th century the two have merged.
At the 2001 census, the town had a population of over 7,221. The town's history centres on fishing, ship building, and smuggling.
Much of lower Wivenhoe is also a designated conservation area, with many streets being of particular architectural interest.
Originally the White Hart public house (in my younger years!) it became Maceys and now operates as the Lemon Tree restaurant.
It was Grade II Listed in January 1986 along with the two properties to the right 3 (now Greggs) and 1 Peel Square.

Left: Double Locks.
Middle: Exeter Ship Canal.
Right: Cross Country HST 43378 & 43239 head north with the 1S51 12.27 Plymouth going through to Glasgow Central. These long seven coach trains will end operations in mid September 2023. There were three HSTs passing while we were sat outside the pub in the patchy sun. This was 13.20 with the drabber green GWR four coach passing north at 13.45 and another XC going south at 13.52. I was fearing some pub punters would stroll along the path in the foreground but I got lucky.
The owner was found dead in his pub near Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow by gardaí on 19 March, 1996.
A well-known Wicklow publican, Tom had been counting up his St Patrick’s Day takings at Jack White’s Inn where he lived, when he was killed by pellets from a single close range shotgun blast.
His wife Catherine had told gardaí that she was awoken by someone “pressing her face to the pillow” and shouting at her for money.
When they arrived, they found Tom Nevin on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood.
It later emerged that about £14,600 - €16,500 currently, was taken from the pub and the Nevins’ car had been taken and was found later abandoned in Dublin. All signs pointed to a botched robbery.
Four years later, Catherine Nevin was on trial at Dublin Central Criminal Court, accused of both murdering her husband and soliciting three other men to murder him.
Mrs Nevin attempted to characterise her husband who was well liked in his community as a quiet, hard working man – as being a member of the IRA, gay and a drunkard.
On the prosecution side, it was alleged that Catherine Nevin had had affairs with a garda inspector, a judge and a convicted criminal and was said to have used her ”silken boudoir - den of sleaze” to “bed a bevy of sex-hungry men” while “plotting her husband’s murder”.
She was convicted and sentenced to life in prison and dubbed "The Black Widow"!
I had a delicious lunch in the very room yesterday and the staff were brilliant!! :)

Drove over to Sheffield (avoiding the Peak District moors because of freezing temperatures and ungritted narrow lanes). Went to see the Everly Pregnant Brothers Christmas show and had lunch in Fagan's with my youngest niece. Even though she lives less than 100 yards away from the iconic pub, she'd never been in until today.

Pub #34 in my quest to have a beer in all the pubs in Norwich.
Given it's location at the entrance to the public library, I had initially dismissed this place from the list as I thought it was just a coffee bar. In fact despite walking past this place hundreds of times over the years I'd never even walked in. So it was with low expectations that I went here.....but I was actually quite impressed. It seems to be catering for tourists wanting a coffee and sandwich, plus business folk/students wanting to hook up to wi-fi. The interior space is huge, and you have great views of the esplanade outside and St Peters Mancroft Church. The beer selection was good (Adnams on tap, I had the Ease Up IPA).
Certainly not a proper pub, but it fulfills the requirements of having a bar and beer on tap.
But not when driving Himmy!! (Unless it's a cappuccino not beer!!) 😅
The Sportsman Pub Lodge Moor Sheffield..
Love the art work here too!
Looking down Redwell Lane, Ightham, to the 'Old House' P.H. (to the left).
This remarkable pub has no visible sign outside to indicate that it is still in business, apart from two wooden casks hanging from the old inn sign frame. There is no name! Many other pubs in this area have shut. However if you go there in the evening or on Saturday or Sunday lunchtime and try the door you'll find it will open.
Its been a long time since I've drunk beer served on gravity from a wooden cask.
