You’ll not believe the price of ale. If you have time visit The Eagle. It’s where DNA was discovered and the RAF bar is special. Squadrons of airmen stood on each others shoulders and wrote their squadron ID on the ceiling using cigarette lighters and candles. It all preserved. Long way from the ground but Cambridge is worth a weekend. See you at the game.
Totally agree, spent some very happy times there, including the Eagle. Lived just off Parker’s Piece. My local was the Free Press which was another great pub with a lovely snug. I walked it a few times from there to the ground, 20 mins or so.
We're making a weekend of it. Can't wait. Haven't been to the city for a good 25 years. Saw Stephen Hawking tearing it up in his wheelchair, which made my day. Last time I went to the football there was even longer ago - Wayne Biggins scored twice for us in the first 15 minutes. As for the price of ale - £6.50 and more in Lincoln if you want something drinkable. Expecting at least that in Cambridge.
We're off for the weekend from this evening. My alma mater, not that it did me any good, still ended up on here with you dickheads most days, so much for an elite education. See you there.
