I seem to recall there was a formidable landlady at the Mr Warwick who ran the place for years, it's now a private house. The Fitzharris Arms is now a Tesco Express. Sign of the times...

Mrs Heavens. I went to her funeral, many years ago now. A pint of Morland's Bitter cost 14p a pint when I first started drinking there.

And the newly arrived lager was half a crown (25p) at The Red Lion the other side of town!

On the subject of the Cyrus CD upgrade, I've no idea of my number in the queue but my dealer in Checkendon said three weeks ago that someone behind me was number 44. Expecting to hear any day, I'll let you know.

I was greatly saddened to hear about the death of Dave Swarbrick. I originally heard him play with the Ian Campbell folk group, and later Martin Carthy, back in the 60s. After this he was absorbed into the Folk Rock boom in the 70s. He was a wonderful violinist and mandolin player who influenced me when I used to play folk music.

As a matter of interest, if anyone is interested, I am shortly to post the remaining records that I'm selling on the forum. On the list are a number of records in which he plays. There is one with the Ian Campbell folk group and several others with Martin Carthy.
