Feb 09 - The Snowed Inn, Rushden

Actually, we never went anywhere this month the snow came to Northamptonshire and the roads became dangerous. Many were actually snowed in. If I ever own a pub, I think I'll call it "The Snowed Inn", what a great name - I must register it. Imagine being snowed in, in a pub that served curry!

It does remind me of a work outing I had a few years back up in Blackburn. We'd finished work and had just sat down in a nice warm pub when the door opened and the police came in. There was a swift shout of no one is to leave and landlord please lock the door until we say it is safe to open it. Apparently someone was rampaging with a gun very close to the area. Not great of course. But hey, being told by the police not to leave the pub until told to! I remember playing giant Jenga and sampling various real ales for a few hours, before the helicopters finally went and a cold policeman banged on the door giving the all clear.

Anyway, should be back to normal next month!
