Henbury actually has a village hall ? I’ve been living in Brentry since 2004 and never knew that ! Where is it ? It's in the old bit of henbury by st Mary's church, between the salutation and Blaise. It pre-dates most settlements in Bristol, but there isn't really a lot of it.... The Blaise Inn sells a fine drop of black rat cider though.... You learn something new every day ! I’ve never been in the Blaise inn , I might just do that over the weekend , is it a family friendly pub ?

Watched Walsall Wood Girls under 11s beat Tamworth 3-0. Our Isabelle hit the bar. It rained a lot. Its strange how kids nowadays have proper organised teams ta play in, when i was a lad it was just 'Street Fitba'
The rules as far as i remembers was:
Fattest wean in goal. Owner of ball decides who can play. Jumpers fur goal posts and height of goal pretty much decided on a goal by goal basis. Penalties ONLY awarded for a broken leg! Match automatically ends when owner of ball was called in for dinner. Whoever kicks a ball inta a garden HAS to go an get it. NAE REFEREES! If th ball got stuck under a car it was pretty much th end of th world. No matter how many goals a team was ahead by it was 'Next goal wins'. If yous was picked last for a team you may as well give up all hope of a life.
Anyone else grow up like this?

The food is decent and good value, and it's completely independent which is unusual these days...

Me and a group of mates used to play something called Wembley. One goal and a nominated keeper, the rest play against each other and if you score you go to the next round. Last person left is out of each round, until you get a winner from the last 2. Almost every one of your rules applied as far as I can remember!

We had a rule of no shots inside the six yard box to prevent that. Headers allowed though and some used to flick it up deliberately to get round that rule.

Maybe I just liked pushing people in the stingers.

They also use it as a polling station which i believe will be used again very soon....

People who say they are from Brentry are too snobby to say they are from either Southmead or Henbury, but don't have enough money to say they're from WoT !
