Are Heritage cards valid? Is there decent beer (ie not Sheperd Neame)? Can we kill commoners? |

English Heritage Members are half price. No beer etc I'm afraid. And erm, no. Thanks. |

No beer - how gay is that? Someone in your dept needs sacking, and probably a kicking first. |

That'd be me. Well actually the licence doesn't stretch to that I'm afraid. Sorry! There are some lovely pubs in Lower Upnor though and there is a Shepherd Neame pub next door to the Castle called the Tudor Rose.  |

Well beat yourself up as you write out your P45! No licence indeed! Apply for one, the local magistrates have so many that they often give them away with a well prepared application. The pub next door let my little horrors use their facilities when cut short once, so I like them, even if they do sell rusty piss water. |
