do you remember a pub called "The Shambles" on Lowther Street?
then it became "The Post" then it was an Irish one ...
and now it's called "The Gilded Lilly".
and that is where we will await your presence!

Well no, frankly.
I can't remember much of Carlisle because it was always a place to get drunk in then get the next train out.

Is Lowther Street the one that curves round opposite the station towards the old bus station?

nah mate, that'll be the crescent...
which leads to lowther street.
the lilly is the pub on the right hand side of lowther street, opposite pizza express (used to be Lloyds bank). the howard arms is at the other end of lowther street opposite what used to be the old bus staion before it became either iceland or a car park. can't really remember the old bus station cos it were demolished about 35 years ago...

Oh I'll find it.
I'll check this tomorrow morning when I'm sober.

Look out for a 5'6", bespectacled, smartly dressed gent, with hair.
