The Beacon Light, I remember it well! I had a pal who lived in Petton St, we used to drink in the Beacon Light, played darts there on Fridays. One Friday evening about 7.30 we put our name down for a game of doubles on the dart board, once we got on the board we remained unbeaten for the whole evening. The entire dart team tried to shift use but we beat everyone who tried to knock us off the board. We were asked to join the darts team but refused, as it might have cramped our drinking style.
