Hi Gavin, very funny entry...

Re time and date, the next time you go to write an entry, at the bottom just outside the white box where you write, should be little boxes along the bottom with the right date (until midnight in Europe!) and San Francisco time, you can change it to whatever you want.

I've just readwhat I wrote before and don't understand it!! Right tie????...ahhh..time...OK

Anyway, if you ever read this, everything is in the options. Now sorted.

Without too much detail of where you are do you know the Royal Standard in Beaconsfield or the Highwayman in Goring, there's a few others from when I was young free and single but that was sooooooo LONG ago!

I know the Royal Standard - if it's the one that claims to be the oldest pub in England with the barrel shaped bar - I used to live in High Wycombe now Newbury. Don't know the Highwayman.

I 'think' I've set the time...

ahh,High Wycombe, well then you're sure to know many old haunts of mine in Marlow, Henley, Maidenhead and environs (friends in all three) - that part of the Thames valley is one of the places I wouldn't mind putting down roots.

Yes, that's the Royal Standrad
