Good evening tramp old pal
I jump on 13 or 17 bus to Bull Ring. Then catch 37 bus to Warwick Road Tysely, stopping to take in the scenery ? or anything else I may find interesting en route.
Some of you may be surprised to hear that Vale Onslow on the Stratford Road is still in operation, the shop is very run down but still going. I remember seeing John Vale Onslow on this is your life many years ago. A bit farther down the Stratford Road The Angel pub, although closed there seems to be work going on at rear, with a large scaffolding structure appearing ( but taking a very long time ). Following on we get to what used to be the Mermaid, It was turned into the President, Asian restaurant, and closed after a rather large fire, work seems to be going on to re-open this place but again taking a long time. Turning into the Warwick road, down on the right hand side, we come to what used to be The Sportsman pub, now it's called McDwyers, very well run by Bernie McDwyer a very experienced and welcoming landlady. This wonderful early morning trip is an educative way to start the day, it is never the same two days running. Sb
