One pub casued a certain amount of confusion for a brewery delivery driver when he arrived at Windsor Castle recently with a truck load of beer for the Queen, apparently.But, instead of Her Majesty getting a few drinks organsed for a mega-banquet, the delivery should have gone to The Windsor Castle pub in Maidenhead. Clearly, punching Windsor Castle into his sat nav, it was a mistake anyone could easily make these days. The pub has, on occasion, received mail for Prince Charles, where presumably, the postman thinks it's quite obvious the Prince actually lives in a pub, as he delivers the post for him.

Also then transpires that a number of American tourists do query why the Queen had her castle built so close to Heathrow airport? Clearly, a point over looked by castle builders looking for a good place to build their next castle for her majesty.

My brother is pub landlord of the Bruce Arms, Masham, Yorkshire Dales, it is a homely and welcoming place.  When we visit, I love to sit in the bar and listen to the "locals" chatting, woe betide anyone who calls the village Masham the pronunciation is MASSAM.Embarassed  One of the local farmers told me off on my first visit, in a friendly way.

Homely meaning friendly, warm and inviting.

(Homely over here, at least where I live, means ugly)
