What a great club badge! Wouldn't have thought Hoopoe were commonplace in Denmark.

I miss my moth trap. Good fun at my Mum's house but it's pointless on this new housing estate. Maybe next year once my nascent garden and pond has matured.

I must re-visit soon it cases it closes suddenly once more (à la the Falcon and the Sir Gawain & the Green Knight near me).

Love that!

Two great observations there! The ignorance of UK geography by most folk (sometimes they astonish me on University Challenge at not knowing where, say, Exeter is) and how our generation are bloody vandals!!!

Passed there many a time on birdwatching trips to Gronant. Hadn't realised it had reopened after being forlorn and abandoned so long. Must call in!

Not heard of Goztepe before but, then again, after a quick glance at the Super Lig table, that goes for most of the teams.

I usually support a team in all the main countries of Europe (eg Udinese, Rayo Vallecano, Kaiserslautern). I need one for Turkey!

I was going to say, it must have a good chance of getting in the GBG. Used to be in our Chester & South Clwyd CAMRA branch but that's been divided into Dee Valley (Welsh pubs) and West Cheshire (Chester area). Made sense.

Close by. Did you pop in the recently re-opened Cross Keys?

Thanks. I've barely scratched the surface in the Northern League. I did Billingham Town recently. That was good.

For future reference, which are the classic ones?
