Hi I’d just like to thank you for the many hours of entertainment you have provided me with your many books. The first book I read was not the Sharp series but Azincourt. I was hooked after that. I have just completed book 9 of the Last Kingdom series and eagerly await book 10. I served for 30 years as a Police Officer in and around the Chester area so was intrigued with Uhtred’s description of the Town all those years ago. I served as Police Liquor Licence Officer for a number of years so was particularly interested in the ‘Piss Pot’ Ale house. I have to tell you that I can think of a few Public Houses during my time in the job that fitted your description of the premises, and earned it’s nickname, perfectly.
