So I took a few pics as you do. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 134 still go to Muswell Hill? Nampla would know that. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I had Abbott ale I had 4 pints one lunchtime on an empty stomach and realised I was in no state to drive the 2 miles home from a wee pub in East Barnet to my house in whetstone. So I decided to sleep it off in the car which was dangerous in itself. It was winter and when I woke up it was dark and I was half dead from hypothermia. I learned to have a very healthy respect from then on to Abbott ale. 😀 I got to the final of a big darts tournement at East Barnet Old Grammarians FC drinking Abbott ale all night. They sold Abbott ale in watering cans. The treble twenty was HUGE and I just had to get the timing right when I swayed. Unfortunately, rubber legs by the final.

Jambo Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Surprising lack of flow from our local waterfall.

My nephew works downtown, he’s actually busier since Covid, and I drove him in this morning. I had to see this thing in person, but could only snap a quick shot to avoid getting a ticket. It’s very impressive, took a few hours to paint for sure 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
