Must have served your pint & given you change for the table!!
Lady M.
Good morning My Lady,
I have been away for a few days, no not to the Priory or anywhere remotely like that, and whilst I was away my mind sometimes returned me to this forum and especially to some of the contributors.
And since your marvellous poem my thoughts have been on you.
But what happens on my return?
Almost the first thing I see is that you have placed yourself behind the bar at The New Inn and what is more it was 23 years ago.
I suppose the only redeeming aspect of this admission is that you were actually behind the bar and not propping it up. Then again perhaps you could prop it up from the other side; something I would not know never having been behind a bar.
And not very often in front of one come to that despite Horwich Ender’s suspicions and veiled accusations.
Now as you know I am quite fond of the history around here and I like to get things into a chronological order so it would be helpful for me to know if you were a mere serving wench before the Good Lord Madonna snatched you from, what appears to have been, a downwards spiral.
Surely the landed gentry wouldn’t have taken to themselves a bride and then allowed her to become some sort of bar bimbo making small talk with the semi drunks and besotted wretches of Horwich End?
Sorry about that bit Jon. I hope it did not offend you.
Anyway My Lady which ever way around your life evolved we can now be certain how you became hopelessly addicted to late night drinking sessions.
One other thing has occurred to me and that is your apparent mission to change the face of Horwich End.
Firstly you tell us that the 2 cottages next to the Conservative Club on Chapel Road had to be demolished and now we have you in the New Inn and that has been taken from the drinking public and replaced with some sort of second hand furniture shop which is no use to anybody.
What other properties in Horwich End have you exerted your influence over?
And please don’t mention the gas works.

HE,
Almost at the 30,000 mark and when I post my photo of an old pub in Horwich End shortly I can almost guarantee a vast increase in viewings. In fact be careful your computer doesn’t blow up.
