Steve, I think Gib's been curled up asleep in his nesting box in the back of the Commer these last three months. The sudden sunshine yesterday must have awoken him. I just hope he hasn't wet the bed!  Nice to hear from you Gib. Must have a planning beer soon. Cheers Andy & Steve. Life still very hectic with little time to spare. Just moved in with new lady, still in Pound Hill. When will I come to my senses?  ?? Planning beer sounds good Andy, and no I did not wet the bed whilst nesting in the Commer. nice of you to let me stay while though  Sounds like I'm defo gonna have to replace the springs and shockers now! I'll give you a call mate and we can meet up soon. |

Being another local lad, Maidenbower to be exact, can anyone come to the west sussex planning meeting where I presume, the finer points of commer motoring are discussed?
I certainly can't see why not, it would be great to see you again. I can get Chris Zarse along, he's just moved to Maidenbower too. Have you noticed any pets going missing yet? Gib, would "The Offspring" (your phrase!) do the taxi thing again? |

Might I suggest that as the majority are in Maidenbower/Pound Hill (where the pubs are not quite so good) you could perhaps travel? |

Yes, no problem, I was intending to travel, but I just thought we could maybe do a pub crawl of some of the fine country pubs in the area, eg Cowdray, a couple in Turners Hill, White Hart, Royal Oak in Ardingly, Half Moon Warninglid, etc etc etc. Just an idea?

Don't know if you've been in the Cowdray recently, but it's not what it used to be!! That's a hell of bloody pub crawl you're suggesting. Damn thing would take all day and a multitude of taxis  |

I used to lve in that area (Salfords) any pub crawl we went on always ended up in "The Parsons Pig" on the Balcombe Road. Not a bad place in those days and full of pissed trolly dollies out for a good time away from their gay male colleagues. Many a happy evening was spent in there.

Hey Bob, just up the road from me. Parsons Pig is now an annex to some sort of travell inn........... No idea what the beer is like these days, but I think the trolly dollies now go to the Froghole farm on Maidenbower. But then again I could be out of date with that.............. |

Not many trollie dollies in the frogshole farm now, its a bit of a dive, but it has just changed landlord so it may be getting better.
I met my wife in the Parsons Pig many years ago, used to be a favorite place along with the Shipley Bridge. Both are now a shadow of there former selves and best avoided

I always thought "The Pig" would end up as a stay and park type of place what with all the land at the back, but what a noisy place to try and get some kip if the aircraft are taking off East to West .Sat in the garden some Sunday lunch times and you couldn't hear yourself think when they hit full power on there take off run:o
We used to use the Flight Tavern a lot too when the son was young as he loved to watch the planes taking off, I suppose that is ruined now too. That place must be on the list to be demolished if the second runway goes ahead

I suppose we could do central Crawley? It's improved of late, if you hadn't noticed, what with trendy places like the JaJa Bar and the new tapas place. It's now possible to go out in the evening without having your head kicked inside out. No guarantees of course.  |

No dates yet but keep you posted Mark. Rooms available on "first come" basis. Actually, I'll rephrase that if Chris Z is staying. Would be nice to it on the day before they all go to Sebring on 15th, but regretably I go to India on the 14th  |
