 Moorhouse Inn

Rella Fawbert is 129 and Paul Edwards is 20. Sue is still hanging on. 

Talk to drunken Matt in the tap room. He is an authority on the Iran-Iraq conflict. The Falklands War was a 'tea party', he added and concluded with 'perhaps we should take on China.' Mad as a hatter.

Princess Margaret and the Duke of Westminster have appeared on 'the Archers'. Whatever next? The Duchess of Kent an agony aunt on TV-am? The Queen Mother on 'Crossroads'? I disapprove of such goings on. I am not of this century.
