It was obviously so you could spend a bit more time in the St Leger
These Deltic diagrams take me back.....I did a few Northumberland Rovers or whatever they were called back then. We had to get a return to Berwick from Edinburgh, before it became valid, but they were great value after that. I'm sure someone will remind me of the name and geographical scope. Every basher in the NE had one on the go almost continuously!
I was doing N Wales weekend 40s around this same time, and my bar and buffet of choice became the one in Warrington Bank Quay, and I became very fond of their meat and potato pies, which were a bit of a novelty for a young Scotsman!
