This is very true
Which in our post truth world is refreshing

This is also true
But I did get a dartboard (Don't worry I took Hercs picture off)
So we'll be having a grand reopening tomorrow*

Odd names started to be noticeable by their absence and so I did a quick check yesterday and it is surprising, if not worrying how many regulars are.......................no longer regular.
In addition, I am going to have to say this; a number of them are post the site revamp last August.
