Spotty's Little Known Facts

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I read in a book today that the words Czar and Kaiser are simply derivatives of the word Caesar... sounds pretty obvious now I think about it - but i had never made the connection...

and Tsar but not Shah

That's outrageous.

Ringley pack-horse bridge ( which leads from The Horsehoe pub to the new Roma restaurant, has ancient monument status. It was built in 1670's as were the stocks that still survive beside it. Down the side of it they use to have bull-baiting back in history. Just thought I'd mention it as some of my relatives live in Ringley and I pass it all regularly.

I like it round there, used to run by it on one of my long run routes when I was living in Great Lever. The Horseshoe does some decent grub as well, was hit hard by the bridge closure but I expect it's doing well again now. Always smelled great when I ran out of the path behind and alongside it, so had to check it out.
Didn't realise how old that bridge was.

Used to be reasonable if not spectacular, but I've not been in the Horshoe in twelve months L.E. Daughter reckons food quality's gone down and prices up. Don't know how The Roma compares with either, but it must be competition.

It's more than 12 months for me when I think about it. A lot can change.
