Steve,

I have been known to partake at that establishment on the odd occasion, purely for historical reasons you understand!:D One of the few constants in the City. Most others have changed hands / names 2 dozen times since. :rolleyes:

Cheers
Simon

hi rob...must admit i was more than a little influenced by the scene with the bunker in saving private ryan!!!, and even though no such bunker existed
in the dog green sector i just had to try and build it!!!!!!!!!!.

Thanks for your response. Steve.

Remember and respect.
