I had to do a double take on that shot, it looks like the attendant has got a fag in his gob.

He probably had. Happened all the time where I first started work Nobody ever even thought about it.

We've got a pub called the Barley Mow here and it looks JUST like that........ Clifton Hampden near Abingdon.

It's The Barley Mow near West Horsley in Surrey.

I think it was a favourite haunt of the motor trade and journos in the past. Something in my memory was sparked and it made me think of George Bishops column Carte Blanche, that I used to read in CAR magazine in the 1980s. I seem to remember that he mentioned The Barley Mow now and again.
