The Sun( the thing in the sky and not the rag)
 
From the age of 12 I was brought up in a Watney Coomb Reid pub in Thames Ditton, mum and dad were the landlords.

The days when pubs used to smell of beer and **** not over cooked and deep fried food.

My first proper job was in the Packhorse on Egham Hill (its changed names a few times since then.) That was a Watney Coomb Reid pub in those days.
