When I first met the missus she lived in Swindon so used to go down on the train most Fridays, working round football. There were two routes, one via Brum, one via Cheltenham. I became a regular at pubs opposite both stations depending on which route I'd gone. The Brum one was The Crown, big pub round the back of New Street. I think Black Sabbath started there and it might have gone now. M&B on electric draught and always an 'Olroight mate, back again eh' when I went in for my hour between train changes.
At Cheltenham they asked me to be in the darts team but that's another story.
