The William Webb Ellis - Twickenham

Visited 4th February 2012.
 
The challenge was to get from 'The Moon on the Square' in Feltham to 'The William Webb Ellis' in Twickenham in time to see the second half of of the France v Italy 6 Nations rugby game. Luckily we had a local with us who 'knew' the way and said we wouldn't be needing Mrs SatNav. Sadly, we listened to him and didn't even get close to seeing the second half. Still, on the bright side, we did get there eventually, we did find somewhere to park and when we got in to the pub we did manage to get a table with a very good view of one of the many screens. We ordered some food and drinks (not sure why but I suddenly had a craving for a beer and a burger, well a double burger beef gourmet and guest ale actually with the traditional chicken burger and Pepsi for our designated driver) and settled down to watch the game. The pub was busy with a lot of England fans and as far as I could see both of the Scotland fans, Duffy being one of those. Towards the end of the game I received a text from Stiggy, who wasn't able to make this trip, saying that the snow was starting to settle pretty thickly back home and not to leave it to late so we had a quick look out of the window, couldn't see any snow, so carried on watching the game. We liked the pub, the food, the warming fire, the atmosphere, the staff, Duffy getting hooked on Buffalo Trace and for two out of three of us, the final score. By the time we left the pub it was snowing and the walk back to the car was a little treacherous. The car was covered by the time we reached it and the journey home, while uneventful, took longer than expected and Stiggy was right (she usually is), the snow back home was about 10cm thick. We made it home just in time. This might have big implications for tomorrow though...
