Eskbank! So good, they named it.
The other great thing about this Midlothian marvel is the fact that the Cross Borders Brewery is every Friday fortnight.
The latest edition is tonight, and the jackpot is up at £100. Come and meet Quizmaster Isla and have some Friday night quiz fun. You will love it!
By the way, this morning’s quiz research has included a little journey into penal history as I decided to look up why it was that old British comic strips always had prisoners wearing uniforms printed with arrows, usually pointing up the way.
Turns out there is a specific design called the Broad Arrow which has been used for a long time (and still is in certain contexts) to denote government property.
It was used on prison uniforms in the UK in the 19th and early 20th centuries and was stopped in 1922. However, it was a powerful enough trope to still be used in the work of cartoonists 50, 60, 70 years later.
Anyway – if you’re wanting to go to the Crossborders Brewery tonight, you can either just turn up or, to be sure of a table, give them a call on 0131 629 3990
