You've got me thinking about Colchester now. It's strange how you can stay in a place for ages and then not remember much about it.
I remember two pubs I used to drink in, The Robin Hood and The George, are they still there?

[albitz]

Not sure tbh,try to avoid the place.I think The George is in the High st,if its the one im thinking of it was there yesterday.Robin Hood rings a bell,but cant remember where it is.

Oh well. Need to stop thinking about that kinda stuff anyway. It's in the past.

I think we all have a wee sentimental journey from time to time,its human nature I think.
I often think back to when I head hair,brings me to tears it does.

Btw Robin Hood in Osborne st? pretty sure its still there.

I remember a fantastic restaurant called Clowns(IIRC) on the high street. Their pies were to die for...

And the Hippodrome..  8-)

Erm... Must be something else.. Or did I destroy that many brain cells there?

Think thats the one. Quite a small place.

Dont remember Clowns Kevin.The Hippodrome is still there,not sure if it had a name change though.I remember walking past the front of it on a sunday morning a few years back,the foot path was covered with blood,fairly typical Colchester weekend entertainment.

Oh yes It was a quiet town until us squaddies descended on it.
Mind you. I believe the Romans were quite rowdy, and they were well before us.

I was interned in the other "barracks" - across the river in Wivenhoe Park. Just as rowdy though.

Used to be a restaurant called Clowns in Ipswich - never tried it myself, but my son said it was good.  It's gone now.
