Freezing To Death.

I'm sat in a three seasons sleeping bag, boiler failed at 6.30pm. Heating engineer can't get here until tomorrow lunchtime. I've brought my portable gas heater in from my workshop, only problem is our large lounge with double height ceiling.Think it's time to move with heater into my office, smallest room in the house. Wifey has gone to bed dressed for the arctic. Can't believe how soft we've become. Saying that, need a pair of gloves.

What was the name of the pub? We used to drink there in the 70s

What was the name of the pub? We used to drink there in the 70s. Coming from Newcastle heading west.

The only pub I remember in Corbridge was the Angel but I don't know if it's the one you're after.

Very old building, ivy covered on the right, haven't got a clue. Then again, moved away when I was 12.

Black Bull or Golden Lion perhaps?

[sapelesam]

I'm told by my sister that it was probably the Golden Lion.

Well, as my gas bottle has expired I need to head to bed and see if I can get some kip. Night all.

[chrissa1]

The Angel!!! That’s it, jackdaw.

Heating engineer turned up at 11.00am, three hours of innards spread every where, finally fixed, time for showers, whoopee.

You survived, well done.:-) ( I was worried )

Glad you've got your heating back, sapelsam.
This thread reminded me of being a student. My housemates and I had agreed not to put the heating on, to save money. One evening we cracked and there was 5 of us huddled round a 3 bar electric fire, wearing four jumpers each.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. I had forgotten how much I adore my underfloor heating.
