STARK RAVING CONKERS

Wikio - Top Blogs - Wine and beer




IN THE OLD DAYS, CONKERING WAS ONE OF THE PLEASURES OF BEING A CHILD. THE ENDLESS HOURS SPENT TRYING TO FIND THE BIGGEST (YES SIZE DOES MATTER). NICKING THE VINEGAR IN THE HOUSE TO SOAK THEM OVERNIGHT, AND ALL OTHER MANNER OF STRANGE AND BIZARRE METHODS TO TOUGHEN THEM UP. EXCITEDLY BRINGING THEM INTO SCHOOL, TO SEE IF YOUR'S COULD BEAT THE REIGNING CHAMP.

NOW YOU NEED SOME SORT OF SAFETY SUIT, GOGGLES AND A RISK ASSESSMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE THREAT OF BEING SUED.















FAR EASIER, AND SAFER (AS LONG AS YOU ARE AGED OVER 18) TO POP ALONG TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING FINE ESTABLISHMENTS FOR A PINT OF ALE:

THE GRAND HOTEL, BISHOP AUCKLAND
THE OLD WELL, BARNARD CASTLE
THE SHIP INN, MIDDLESTONE VILLAGE
NOTTINGHAM BEER FESTIVAL
THE CROWN, MANFIELD
OVINGTON VILLAGE HALL
NORTH MANCHESTER BEER FESTIVAL
THE BLACK BULL, MELSONBY
THE FOUR ALLS, OVINGTON
THE STANWICK INN, ALDBROUGH ST JOHN

ENJOY!
