Pub Quotations

Why should Scotland be stopped from suggesting to the English people that we join a new union under new terms? Let's not try to dominate one another.

Being a typical Briton, I love my home comforts and always try and find an English pub where I can tuck into some traditional English food, accompanied by a nice pint.

As soon as I landed the job I went over to Wales to Laugharne, the little town where Thomas spent his last years.

Successful writers say you should never work from a desk with a view, and the view I have from this one is a huge distraction.
