The Havelock, I remember that place, the last time I was in there was around 1965. Is it still there?

They did not sell lager last time I was in there, it was all beer, if my memory serves me right it was one and thrupence a pint. Come to think of it there was larger it was Carling black label it was more of a ladies tipple I think, not sure if you can still get that.

if somebody asked me for £3:20 for a pint, I'll be asking them if that pump can suck it it back out of the glass, cos I would not be paying that for a beer thank you very much.

I've never been in for ages Pete, but since they re-routed the road it is in a cul-de-sac now and it dos'nt get any passing trade as there is no through traffic in East Sleekburn as such, but I should think that it has changed a bit since 1965. I know the landlord bought some land off my brother to build a house on a couple of years ago and he has done nothing with it yet so he must still be content in the Havelock.

It would still be too expensive. I would expect a taxi home to be incuded in that price. (with the lap dancer)
