Well, it's tomorrow now, and still no word.
I reckon Glenda has spirited him off to the Casbah !

Not listed on Autoroute.
Is it a pub that has recently suffered a name change, Richard ?

So if I was to drive down from Dorking past Faygate Station to the dual carriageway, where does one go from there ?
I must say from the photo it looks remarkably similar to the Cherry Tree, also nearby.

What you would have to do is go down the A264 from Faygate to the roundabout where you turn left into Roffey, go right round the roundabout and then take the first left which is a very small lane that crosses the railway... it's about a mile down there I think...

I know the road you mean. Might give it a try if we are out that way.

I believe it is Graham's birthday today, so many congratulations to you in LA. Actually, it might be all over now - I don't know what the time difference is!!

Thank you all!! I had such a busy birthday that I didn't get on here until today, but I'm really moved to see you all remembered.
f.y.i. We are 8 hours behind GMT here.
