Hoops Inn is a particularly nice pub just down the road from the CFZ. I have been going there for over thirty years. It was where I always took young ladies I was trying to impress, and it was where Corinna and I spent our wedding night.
One has to drive past it every time we go to Bideford. On Wednesday Graham and I were Asda-bound when we were held up for nearly 20 minutes trying to drive past the pub. There had been an accident; a trailer had overturned, there were police cars and various emergency vehicles scattered around. As usually happens, the quick trip to Asda turned into a much more mammoth occasion, and it was not for three hours that we were on the same road going home! Much to our surprise the obstructions were still there.
Yesterday I got this email from Dan Holdsworth asking simply "will the CFZ be reporting this?" and giving a URL:
It was quite a popular story yesterday. But no one had a picture to go with it. Now, if I had only remembered my camera!
