Kings Lynn...

Licenced today: the Maid's Head pub in Kings Lynn, Norfolk… 

Crickhowell...

I wandered across the road last night, to watch the football at the pub, rather than at home on my laptop. Against all expectations, I detected no obvious racism. I heard locals calling Bukayo Saka a “fucking useless cunt” - rather than a “fucking useless black cunt” - which represents an improvement of sorts. England came second to France. I tried to reassure my neighbours that during the Olympics this would represent a silver medal, but they were not in the mood to be consoled.

Another street scene, licenced last week: Crickhowell in Powys…

Goole as a tourist...

Goole has no tourist office, nor any obvious need for one. The only tourist brochure I can find directs visitors back to the railway station, on the reasonable assumption that they must have got out at the wrong stop. So it made a change to wander round Goole yesterday, with my old chum Howard, and pretend that the town and docks were worth visiting. The pic shows the old Tom pudding hoist, silhouetted against the winter sky…
