Hi Neal and a v warm welcome. Glad you've found us.

We've had a guy who worked in tree surgery here before, Dyspraxia chainsaws and climbing trees seems like a crazy idea to myself, but we don't tend to fit a mould!

I too enjoy a good ale, though I was heckled by a comedian for drinking lager whilst wearing a Hobgoblin T shirt on Wednesday. My defence was/is that the pub is due to close and the 'wee that is Carling' was all that they had left on draught. My brother saved me by getting me a bottle of Proper Job.

Thank you Tom

I did enjoy the tree climb element in my youth

You're welcome. I've not climbed a tree for some years but I am getting on. I'm definitely staying from chainsaws!
