The George at Sandy Lane, near Calne/Chippenham

There's a nice one out Hook or Purton way. Can't think what it was called though as I've only been there once.

Did you? Bloody hell.. They always seem to have darts tournaments on when I'm there. There is an old programme with Ossie Ardiles on the front I want to nick as well as a picture that has the old ST traffic sign and says SWINDON TOWN FC 1969 LEAGUE CUP WINNERS

Radcot looked great when we drove through it. What was it like? I know there are like 5 bridges around it etc looked to be a decent beer garden etc..
