Looking at it in light of that comment... yes it does!
Then again, many pubs had backrooms which they'd turn into "skittle alleys" to bring in extra money. It was darts in my barmaid days, pub quizzes now - although those were already in ascendancy back then.

The hardest thing is not talking to Mum about all this. I'm so happy and excited. But if I tell her what I've bought Dads I ruin the surprise. Partly because she'll guess that I'm doing the same for her, partly because she'll get as much of a kick out of Dad's prizes as he will.

I so wanted to tell her last night that I was working my way through The Only Way is Essex box-set. But couldn't. Because it's actually for her. What? It was second hand so it's not like I broke it open or anything. Oh, you mean why am I even watching it?
Shaddup. You're just well-jel. \/\/hatever...

Actually this was such a cool find, because she didn't get into it until I moved in, so she's never seen the first episodes. She watches it when she irons because Dad hates it. Gets him out of her hair. She has baskets of ironing to work through now; six series worth!.
