I’m an unashamed Facebook fan. Maybe it’s because I don’t do politics and religion on social media.
For me it’s always been a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, my vintage car hobby and family history. Post any question relating to any of my pet subjects and within hours back comes a sensible answer. I’ve long got over surprise at the power of the Internet for positivity.
This last week is an example of quick results. My family were residents of Brighton from the 1880s until 1938. In the 1920 and 30s my grandfather and grandmother were owners of a pub and my dad and his siblings were brought up living over the pub. I remember dad talking about the pub but in the ensuing years I had forgotten its name. Recently I thought I’d start asking questions of the Facebook Group “Brighton Past”
I started by posting a picture of Granddad and Grandma, asking if anyone could find them in a “Kelly’s Directory” Within a day we not only had the pub’s name but also a daughter of a previous landlord of the “Prince George” in the 1970s.
For some reason I had it in my mind that the pub had been demolished around the 1970s but according to Burnice the daughter of a previous landlord it was still there in 1988. Today I Googled the name of the pub to see if there were any old pictures only to find it’s still a thriving pub… http://www.princegeorge.pub/

Hmmm. Looks like the menus are exclusively vegetarian

Yep it is, exclusively vegetarian but I think I’ll still book a table in the new years for a family get together. The selection of ales seems to make up for a menu of side dishes without a main course.
That’s a boozer I used to frequent in my student / post student days(along with a load of others in the North Laines) back in the day.

I’ve been told looking after three grandchildren at once for the whole day (ages 8,6,3) is a pleasure so thought I should post it here.
Still not convinced it shouldn’t be on the annoyances.

Seeing someone with a marketing position use a big dumb screenshot as her email signature.
Nightmare day. Clients booked a transfer from the Mountains to the airport with 5 hours in a shopping mall.
Except it’s Epithany (Nathan Jones is a fraud - oh wait, not that sort) all shops are shut.
I take them to the Train Museum. Its open- bless.
What is more, they have opened the Henshell 814 168.
Now I liked this Snowfan but today could go inside
Totally cool
