All the episodes in this series are very good if you want to find out a little about UK, but The Portsmouth one is effectively our home town.....

@Giles very interesting. I’ll check this out for sure.

@Giles Damn good news and great for the area as it’s a beautiful town with a lot of potential.

[Giles]

Oh, and 100 yards from the offices, so hoping the roof top bar comes to fruition....

[goosehd]

@Giles …but do you think that it can compete with the Star

…and it looks like it’s temporarily closed. Something happen?

[Giles]

Massive refurb....Not exactly sure what is going on internally, but the rear garden is looking amazing......

@Giles I hope that the rooftop bar will be strongly influenced by the original purpose

@Giles that may be first article I’ve read in the Torygraph since it was only available in paper form.

Made me a little sad. I know we rag on the place here, but I never find it anything other than charming, in a rundown, definitively English sort of way. Outside of IH, everyone I’ve ever met in Gosport has been smiling and friendly. Even in The Fox!
