Hiya twix, nobody to shout ' Last Orders' then ;-)

The bell rang at 11:30, but we defied the lockdown and had a few more. (Takes me back to the 70's when I worked in a pub in the evenings. An ice-cream salesman, whom was a regular, came in not long before midnight looking for a drink. The governor said he could have a pint as long as he bought a drink for everyone still in the pub, about 10 of us, which he did. When he asked for another the agreement was that we would all get an ice cream, so there we were in the car park having 99's, with a flake, at 1:00 in the morning. Luckily it was a hot summers night !).

Sounds a decent night in/out Twix.

Ohhhh those '99s' on the car park on a hot summer night in the 70's.

Thank you twix, it's the first time I tried it, I'm usually in bed by that time!

[Arksided]

Yeah well done Ellie, I've being trying for years and only got it twice and posted before somebody pounces in before me ;-)

Thank you Arksided. I knew the 'world' answer as my nephew's children horse ride and I had heard them use that term
