has disappearedIn 2001 I was having a glass of cider in an very old pub in Bristol, whose patrons over time had included one Edward Thatch ( aka the pirate Blackbeard ) and Dick Turpin, or so said a historic plaque outside the place
The main subject of converation amongst a group of 20-somethings in the bar was what was the best pension plan
Blackbeard would be spinning in his grave
