Highlights

  • Pete, Nigel and David arrive to a Scarborough soaked in torrential rain but.. it does clear up on Saturday
  • Pete is struggling with a knee injury and despite not making a big thing of it, is clearly 'suffering'. We have to multiply estimated walking times by two!
  • Steve decides that the best way to navigate to a new pub is to search on Google for 'Camra Pubs' - We dutifully follow him along backstreets only to end up at
    the same pub we went to the night before
  • We think that the seafront maybe quiet at this time of year but don't realise that hundreds of ageing bikers have descended upon Scarborough for the annual
    'bike event'
  • Nigel agrees to be the latest employer for a semi-retired David (he always was into charitable work !)
  • The Brazilian landlady at the B&B tries to engage Nigel in a Portuguese chat but he pretends he knows no Portuguese !
  • The band at Indigo Alley has a drummer who looks more like she would be a librarian than a drummer.
  • Having left the Indigo Alley pub as the band is (good but) a bit loud, at the next pub it is Karaoke night ! We make a swift exit
  • Quotes

    Steve : “I have this cousin who is going through a divorce so just wants to party all the time - it is great !”

    Pete: "So why would you build a miniature steam train and then stick a diesel engine in it ?!

    David: "I cant believe we have picked the only cafe that has the Gent's downstairs !" (Pete is struggling to walk down steps)

    Pete: "These are fake chips !"

    Pete (to Steve): "So why would you recommend and iPhone over an Android phone then ?"
    Steve: "Well - the iPhone has some of my company's technology in it"
    David : "So..Android phones don't have your company's technology in ?"
    Steve: "Yes - Android phones do as well"

    Nigel: “We could go to Glasgow next year”
    Pete: "There are no pubs and no beer in Glasgow"
    David: "There is lots to do in Glasgow"
    Pete: "There are no pubs and no beer in Glasgow"
    David: "We could always go to Blackpool instead ?"
    Pete: "How about we go to Glasgow next year ?"
