THE SPECIAL BREW CREW

For 20 years, we used to revel in bonhomie at our favorite haunt, the Montpellier Quarter in Harrogate. We were known as the Montpellier Mice, who were eventually picked off by the birds of prey. The pubs we frequented, the Blues Bar and The Slut and Fetish, are now a thing of the past. Today, we find ourselves caught in the big dry. We lost quite a few friends to that old and filthy drink, but unfortunately, we survived.
