Pub cricket
Had rather a long drive yesterday so the four of us in my new car (pictures to follow) played 'pub cricket', which is the game where you get runs for the number of legs that are on the pub sign, e.g. if it's the Duke of York, you get two, if it's the Coach and Horses you get four per hourse, and two per person. I naturally won, picking up the rather handy 'Firefly', which we decided had six. The best pub we saw though was the 'Bank of Swans' (best in terms of legs, I wouldn't recommend it otherwise) which had four swans, so eight. Obviously what you really want is the 'Chinese Army' or something similar, but there much more difficult to find. Indeed as we entered London we realised that the ongoing trend for renaming pubs 'Chair' or 'Lounge' or 'Electric' means the game is really dying on its legs.
