Do you like Stockbridge, Maggie? |

Go there quite often. There are a couple of upmarket 'country' clothing shops we go in for a laugh :-D |

We went in the tea rooms and I was delighted to see that one of the young men working there as a waiter was Downs syndrome. |

Stockbridge is mainly famous in having a lot of places to eat and a surfeit of 4WD and women called Chloe and Jessica. OTOH if you are on a budget best to bring yr sarnies. |

Apparently, Sharron, the butcher is good - but the shop's never open when we go there. |

Just to be clear the Greyhound remains very much in business but yes, it has moved on. Recommended. |

Yes, I know, Rollo - the Greyhound is now a restaurant, run by some self opinionated 'critters in suits'. I preferred it when it was a pub run by a couple of funny friendly blokes. |

There are those amongst us who prefer to hide our lights under a bush. When there was the panic buying of meat on bone, there were queues at the butchers. |

well I like the Greyhound as it is now inc the props. and def prefer it to the Potter's Heron at Hursley. My OH no.1 is a place in Brockenhurst. My mum though likes the Little Chef or "Toby's" for Sunday lunch. She is easy to please. There you go. |

In 1885 My Gt Gt Grandfather William Notley Riggs died at East Tytherly Stockbridge. I can't recall having been there, though may well have been as a child. |

Don't think I've ever been there. Passed by it a few times, but too close for a swift half if we're out for a drive, and too far for a swift half if we just want a drink!! |
