I EXPLAINED THAT THE FORTHCOMING HALF TERM HOLIDAY ALWAYS USED TO BE KNOWN AS SPUD PICKING WEEK. THERE YOU WOULD FIND ME AND MY FRIENDS WORKING OUR LITTLE SOCKS OFF, EARNING HARD CASH TO PUT TOWARDS THE USUAL TEENAGE INTERESTS.
BUT, CAME THE REPLY ' WHAT, PEOPLE USED TO HAVE TO PICK THE SPUDS UP FROM THE GROUND?' YES, LITTLE WET BEHIND THE EARS CHILD THEY DID - HOW ELSE WERE THEY TO GET FROM FIELD TO TABLE????
POOR PARENTS, I IMAGINE NOW HALF TERM WEEK IS NOT ABOUT CHUCKING THE LITTLE DARLINGS OUT TO EARN THEIR OWN CASH. BUT, A CONSTANT RAID ON YOUR WALLET FOR THINGS TO AMUSE THEM .
WHY DON'T YOU GET TO YOUR WALLET BEFORE THEY DO, AND GET YOURSELF DOWN TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FINE ALE HOUSES:
THE COUNTY, AYCLIFFE VILLAGE
THE WHITE SWAN, GILLING WEST
THE COVERBRIDGE INN
THE OLD WELL, BARNARD CASTLE
NUMBER 22, DARLINGTON
THE BRIDGE, WHORLTON OR MIDDLETON IN TEESDALE
THE FROG AND FERRET, SPENNYMOOR
THE QUAKERHOUSE, DARLINGTON
THE BLACK SWAN, STAINDROP
THE CROSS KEYS, MANFIELD
THE DARLINGTON SNOOKER CLUB
ENJOY!
