In ABCs and 123s: Z is for zigzag
We came across this nameless bar (the owner said "just call us The Top Bar") and called in for a quick glass of Zot Dubbel. Apparently they hold a quiz night at 10.00pm on Tuesday nights, so we remained there, had a few more Zots and the 'British Railways Universally Challenged' team came third. Not a bad result.

Built to serve a colliery that never materialised, this huge pub catered for anglers and the occasional traveller. It was next to the long closed Park Drain station. The pub has now ceased trading.
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #13 - Something Irish.
I've never been in an actual Irish pub so I can't say how authentic this is, but they seem to be working hard at appearing to be Irish. There's a leprechaun hoisting a pint painted in gold above the Guinness sign and they're flying the Irish flag.

On schooldays, one am trip starts at Mayford and runs normal route to Wych Hill, then Triggs Lane, Parley Drive, Marston Road, Sythwood, Bullbeggars Lane, Horsell High Street, South Road, Morton Road to Woking High School, Meadway Drive, Horsell High Street, Church Hill, Brewery Road to Woking station and then the standard route to Lightwater. This means it crosses the roundabout at The Triangle twice.

I feel the whole image is slightly out of focus.
But at the time, it looked fine on screen. Booyah.
Note I do not drink, this drink belonged to someone else!
Its quite a thought to think that this fine old pub had been pulling pints for almost 200 years by the time that Robert Burns came to live in Dumfries. Burns is widely believed to have had this hostelry on his list of favoured inns although proof of this has not survived it does seem likely. Towards the end of the 19th. century the landlord was a Mr. John Thomson an avid collector of Burns memorobilia, in 1904 he paid £55 at Sothebys' for Burns's Dumfries burgess ticket quite a sum in those days. Today it can be seen with other of Thomson's purchases in the collection at the nearby Robert Burns Centre.
