I'm convinced selfies add half a stone to a person !!
Not only was there no television in the pub, I could not get a signal on my phone though, to be fair, not knowing how Blues were doing was most likely a blessing !!
The Kings Head is a pub with a lot of history, it's the oldest pub in Lichfield dating back to 1408 and is the pub where the Staffordshire Regiment was formed.
In 1966 the World Cup trophy went missing and was famously found by a dog called Pickles, imagine my surprise therefore when I found the current trophy behind the bar at The Kings Head..
I reckon I'm up for a handsome reward !!
One major disadvantage about going to Lichfield is that it is a real v*lla stronghold, however I was delighted when I saw the following sign on the wall at the pub..
..Unfortunately it probably refers to the live music in the pub but you never know, maybe the tide is turning !!
There was a great choice of beers in The Kings Head with Banks's Sunbeam being my particular poison. I sat in the pub's impressive courtyard, and, as great as the pub and my beer was, I couldn't help wondering what the score was. I was half tempted to race my pint down however I was meeting up with Shelley and her Mum once they'd finished shopping and didn't want to turn up with a silly grin, slurring my words !!
I felt a pang of disappointment at some parents who were sat near to me, their little girl approached their table and said 'Mum, what are pork scratchings'? Surely any parent worth their salt would have introduced this nutritious food into their child's diet at any early age !!
I finally got a single bar of mobile phone signal before I moved and sent a text to my sister Karen asking for a score update, I wished I hadn't bothered, Blues were three nil down to Wigan at half time !!
Time to move to another pub...without a tv !!
