    The Slaws head to the Motorhome Show at the NEC in Storm Babet! It's a rough drive through flooded roads to a pub stopover at The Trent Lock pub in Long Eaton, near Nottingham.
    ///hope.voice.view
    The car park is between a canal and the River Trent and the waters are rising!

    Settling down to catch up with The Slaws. How much rain??!!! Storm Babet looks brutal. Ooh, would love a pub stop and this one looks lovely. Food sounds great, Argentinian Malbec, excellent choice!!! Enjoyed a bottle of Malbec over the weekend 🍷🍷. Cheers!! Shame the pork and black pudding mash wasn’t on, but to be honest, a nice red will go with anything. Rach likes hers pink but I’m a well done sorta guy…well, I actually like medium but get scared to order it in case I get any pink meat 😂. It looks a lovely pub. Bobbit….now that’s a completely different story 🍆🍆😂🔪 Loving the cheese board, that’s our kinda night. Don’t forget to recycle those electrical 😂. Vanning has never really appealed to us, but Helga looks really cosy. Mmmm crumpets, haven’t had crumpets for years. Wow, bad flooding, it was like that in Dorset last week. Really enjoyed that both…cheers 🍻

    Having heard Dr Slaw explaining how he would set a broken leg; it made me cringe. Whilst in the Middle East I had an open fracture of the femur and two young Indian Drs decided to try and straighten my leg whilst I was on a gurney in the Reception area! They failed miserably and gave me 2 panadol for the pain!!!🤕🤒
    Sorry Slaw a second opinion is urgently required!

    • @TheSlawsAdventures
      @TheSlawsAdventures  7 месяцев назад +2

      No Diane, we were members of Britstops years ago, but we found it was a poison chalice. Pubs were fed up with people who’d paid their fee to Brit Stops and so parked in the car park, put their chairs and BBQs out and didn’t put their money over the bar. If we mentioned Brit Stops when we phoned ahead, the welcome was frosty. We ditched Brit Stops and also Motorhome Stopovers (Same thing) and ALWAYS phone ahead and book a table for tea. Works perfect for us 👍🏻
