    ^^ The Welsh keep lots of lamas.

    They're annoying, bad tempered and cover you in spit whenever they get close but the lamas are surprisingly friendly!

    TD needs visitors and new members. Who believes visitors stop in here to see pics of bloody old England.

    TeakDoor.com-The Thailand Forum with 1000's of reviews and photos of Thai beaches,resorts, restaurants, bars,nightlife, guesthouses and Thai tourist attractions. Where are these photos and reviews ? We probably get 10 to 1 pics of bloody old England.

    This came up on another thread not long ago. If the TD search function worked I'd find it for you.

    Anyway, you have missed a rare treat. Nothing like a hot buttered crumpet.

    And no, I have never seen anyone dunk a crumpet in a cup of tea.

    How did it taste?

    Bad form on your ex-friend's part. It might have made me smile but I wouldn't have crossed you off the Christmas card list for that.

    You could even call it An 'odyssey' across Northern England, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's a bugger to spell.

    I had just one pint of proper room temperature beer during my entire pilgrimage but with hindsight I wish I'd had more. Regular cider and a double 99 every day packed the weight on and now I'm thoroughly disappointed with myself.

    This is a fabulous pint if ever you see it... now brewed a few hundred metres from my mum's house. In fact, with an easterly wind you can smell the hops.

    And an old jetty, smell that aroma of damp stone!

    I can only imagine the stimulation that those aromas arouse.
    I'm sensing some sarcasm here but I'll let it pass!

    A main regret from my pilgrimage was that I lugged that damn Captain's hat halfway across the world and back but never got to wear it. I even forgot to take it aboard the HMS Victory for a sneaky selfie on Nelson's Quarterdeck... but maybe I would have lost some credibility doing that if the navy people had seen me?

    And my Somerset stream piece of rock lost all smell once it dried out. Now it sits on the rock display shelf in my office and if I lick it a bit of the smell comes back, and with it the memories. Wonderful things, smells.

    Naturally I paid up after enquiring if it was half price for kids. The most perfect pier it has ever been my pleasure to step foot on.

    Nearly half a mile long and stretching far out into the Menai Straights with no arcades, no ice cream sellers, just a small pavillion and a giant deck chair at the end.
    Naturally... and good for you!

    Just to be clear, next time I go back to Somerset I will walk along Clevedon Pier having happily paid the entrance fee (which was a lot more than 50p). Despite comments, I'm not tight!

    But wtf do you do on a pier with no ice cream sellers?

    So to correct the imbalance , I'll wet your whistle with these...

    A Mug of tea and Crumpets with butter and Strawberry jam and yes before you ask, they did have leaky bottoms...

    Ok then.

    Pasta Penne bake, but didn't want come across all pretentious.

    Indeed there were a few fishermen at the end of the pier I even had a dabble myself with a free net and string I found.

    The bar has been put on hold whilst I am concentrating on working on the rental property repairs.

    Although the bar and coffee shop are not officially open we have regulars who drop in for food purchases and we are busy with deliveries.

    Freshly made Strawberry jam!

    It's an English thing, that and blackberries, raspberries and marmalade jams.

    Leave all that high sugary stuff like honey and syrup to our estranged cousins around the globe.

    Gotta disagree here. Butter is the only thing that belongs on a crumpet!

    Well, honey does not belong on a crumpet for sure.

    Personally I advocate peanut butter.
