Sorry, missed this last night. I had to google pomagne that's nice to have owned an original tree. Shame it's not still produced

I don't think I've ever spent more that 15 mins there with a pre-booked appointment. It's right in the town centre too, just a short walk from the famous Bull.
Ah i see, that's handy, I didn't realise Worc was so close to Brum - sounds like best of all worlds: countryside, city in easy reach with regular food and drink fests

Yup, know what you mean about rough scrumpy, it really is for the hardcore brigade! It has weird effects on people too, kind of like the way Absinthe does. Tink's one sounds a bit scary as well to be honest at 17% proof! Anyway...
