I probably haven't been in there since about '72, for the 5 years before that, I was probably in most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, having for some long forgotten reason moved our trade from "The Porcupine" in Charing Cross road, I wonder if that's still there?

If you were, for some reason, to get hold of a vinyl copy of the Rod Stewart album "Smiler", the centre spread is a 12" X 24" photo of the courtyard of the POW, with all the band and crew, I'm not sure what you get with the CD.
(And yes, he used to drink with us in both those pubs!)

Remind me at the meet, should you be interested, to tell you the anecdote of the Irish builder in the POW who had lost his wallet.

Incidentally, a young Richard Branson used to also frequent it, not that I can recall speaking to him - had I done so, I would probably have been checking the site from Necker Island.
