Wednesday July 20, 1983

 Up at 7 and went down to find tea bags to replenish the supply in our room. The big, fat cook is very servile. I bottle up and Roy showed me the cellars - bloody pipes everywhere. We drank tea and debated as the whether Coronation Street's Peter Adamson is really a child molester. George Carman, QC will not 'get him off', says Roy. Spent the morning cleaning the beer pipes and pumping cleaning fluid around the Linthorpe. The bar was dead and we went up at 2, after having chilli con carne for lunch. Ally phoned Bessie. She's going to join Frank in Jersey tomorrow. Tonight, Ally and I 'opened up' - alone, with no assistance. Pissed up OAPs. Too busy to write more. We are coping extremely well. Police, CID people, stayed on after closing time and a pissed gathering ensued. Roy can dance whilst balancing a pint of ale on his head. An arm wrestling contest followed. Jon-Paul took on a hairy DC and cheated. Bed after 5am.
