d.elliott Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 English and dance speed, hmm "Foot Tappers and Punters?" The overseas contingent will not get that one! Anon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 A good tune is a good tune wherever it comes from. Indeed, but the pub already has a session 4 times a month which is exclusively green, and very fast to boot. Fine by them, fine by me. We'll stay non-green.

Chris Timson Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 (edited) od Bradford on Avon This probably wasn't a typo! Yes, it was, I'm afraid. It should of course have been odd Bradford on Avon. Downright weird Bradford on Avon would be nearer the mark. Simon Green, the well-known writer of fantasy fiction, has set one book (Drinking Midnight Wine) entirely within Bradford on Avon. His phrase is appropriate, "Bradford on Avon, a town with too much history for its own good". Chris Edited June 11, 2004 by Chris Timson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll stay non-green. Some of the Green stuff can be really lovely when it's not too fast. Martin Hayes on the fiddle, for example, ... or Jean Butler dancing a hornpipe or slip jig.

I'm reminded of a particular Chinese waiter named Eddie... who refused to take any food away from the table. Wouldn't bring the check until every bite was eaten.
