But in Cornwall (sigh). I might have a chance now and again to see a certain someone if it's in Cornwall (if only he didn't find Bodmin to be so scary. lol) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

She duly faithfully awaited for his return and one day he did indeed come back, but had another lady he had taken instead. Upoetia was so distraught at finding this, she threw herself into the local lake and drowned herself. The full name of the pub was originally The Maiden Upoetia, named in her honour.

And I think we should restore the orignal name - The Maiden Upoetia - has a lovely ring to it. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

But maybe suggesting Bodmin is pushing Denz beyond his limits given the 'horse' situation. Although the wise and literate denizens of bodmin (that's all of them) would make sure that no horses and their affectionate grooms, entered the pub at the same time as our Denzil.

I guess that leaves 2 options, Ray. A really good bouncer (maybe a retired footballer) to keep horses out, or we could just move the place to Redruth or St. Agnes.

That's one wild and crazy country over there, Paul! Maybe he saw the ghost and was frightened out of his wits. We don''t want it to be too scary for the guests.
