The Old Anchor, Twickenham

Saturday 4th June 2005: A day out with 7 beer-loving, sport-loving friends with 18 hours of drinking time sceduled. So much could go wrong.
But, on entering the Old Anchor at about 7.15am for the crucial first Lions match in New Zealand, spirits lifted and the fear subsided. Straight on the sauce and a great full English laid on. A fine morning ensued but enjoyed the place so much and were treated so well by staff and management that, not only did we stay until mid afternoon when we were expected at HQ at 12 noon, but we returned to finish the night after the Jonah vs Jonno testimonial.
Many thanks to Kylie (who had only been running the place for a coulple of weeks - yes she is Australian , but a great sport), Tovah and all the team for contributing to a great day. We'll be back later in the tour I assure you. xx
