Ghost town

A walk into Jedburgh for a few beers. Initial impression is 'where is everybody'?
Into the Belter Bar and I'm disturbing the barman at his crossword but he's pleased to see me anyhow. Even he was asking why the town was quiet. Anyhow, supp up and have a wander. Come across The Canon, and there's a few regulars in so a bit more lively and it states to fill up. All talk about the World Cup and who's got an Italian flag for Saturday and who knows how to swear in Italian. Seriously, someone offers to bring in Italian phrase book so they could be honarary Italians for the night!!
The Canon

Last time we were in Jedburgh we stumbled across the Railway Tavern. What a gem, its still there, an old style boozer no bigger than your average sitting room, vinyl & formica with a cathode ray TV. Should have a preservation order on it. Couple in there and I'm done for the night.
