Time to throw sticks at Aunt Sally

Now that the sun has started to shine, pubs throughout Oxon (that’s English shorthand for ‘Oxfordshire’) have started sprouting notices calling for ‘Aunt Sally’ participants. No, it’s not a fancy dress thing, nor is it technically a drinking game. It’s a pub game - although like pool, or darts, or any other game played in pubs, a pint is generally a required accessory. You can find the rules here but basically it involves throwing sticks at a wooden dolly. Bit mad, really. But in Oxfordshire, people get REALLY serious about it. Good to know my adopted county has contributed something stoopid to the culture of this country…
