Doorman Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Mike we were in the pub, where else? I should have known better. Was it the Talbot? Our friends will not pass through Market Drayton without stopping for a great meal and a pint at this fine Inn. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
