Pub Customers Seek New Landlady

With the imminent departure of Maureen Frost, the regulars of "The Angel" have issued the following list of requirements for her replacement.

In no particular order, these are:
• A limitless sense of humour
• An appropriate thesaurus of insulting phrases and descriptions
• An intense dedication to the art of Real Ale keeping
• A pathological hatred of gassy beer
• An imaginative approach to opening hours
• A respect for tradition, particularly those of "The Angel"
• A determination not to pander to Yoof
• A considered respect for, and deference towards, the more senior customers
• Aunty Wainwright's passion for ensuring that no-one leaves with change in their pockets
• A taste for Tia Maria
• An ability to provide an imaginative menu for Crib and Quiz team refreshment
• An affection for pub pastimes such as Crib and Quiz
• An acceptance of ghostly and ghastly apparitions

A correspondent has asked: "Does this mean Wardie and Paul the morning after an 'all-nighter'?" Partly.
