“It is important that when you call, you are first completely sure to whom it is you are calling.”
I think I can honestly say that, up until the point that it closed temporarily during the global pandemic, I’d had visited The Anchor pub for at least a single pint, virtually every night for the past 45 years.
There were, of course, exceptions. In 1992, I had a smash in my car and had to spend a night in the hospital, and midway through 1986 I got married and spent my wedding day and night away from the place. I didn’t visit The Anchor on either of those days, though in the case of my wedding night, half the people who would otherwise have been in the pub joined me at my reception venue, so it was pretty much the same thing anyway.
