I have been blessed with the opportunity to imbibe at some great pubs throughout Canada....The Yorkshire Rose in Abbotsford..... Tir Nan Og in Kingston.....The Blarney Stone in Vancouver, and a lot of others whose names are lost in a maze of hail.....sorry!....haze of ale!
By the way....laying a book on the table....great prop. Makes the girls think you're a sauve and debonair intellectual. After all, we all know rotters can't read!

That is a great pub and the girls are friendly and the service is great..
The book is "Where the hell are the Guns?" by George Blackburn..He lives aroung the corner from me and I was going to get him to autograph it for my buddy..
If you want the best books from Nornandy to Berlin get Georges books..
He was a Captain ,Forward Observer for the 25 pounders..
He was a journalist ,pre war and I couldn't put his books down..
Google George Blackburn and you will come up with the three books he wrote..He is 89 now and tells me he has to cut back on his activities..He is busy with visiting,public speaking at schools,vets hospitals and ceremonies all over Canada..What a great guy..
One of Canada's true heros,George Blackburn M.C............
