Snowed-in pub goers have ‘surreal’ reunion

Revellers who spent three nights snowed in at Britain’s highest pub have held a reunion at the venue a year later, reported the BBC. Dozens of guests were trapped by heavy snow at the Tan Hill Inn, in the Yorkshire Dales, after going to see an Oasis tribute band in 2021. The same band, No Way Sis, was booked to play at the reunion event. Martin Overton, from Pontefract, West Yorkshire, said the experience was “quite surreal”. Gaz Paine, No Way Sis lead singer, said: “It’s good to be back, but good to know we can get home again.”

Skinner has backstage row with royal

Frank Skinner had a backstage argument with the Countess of Wessex after she criticised his performance of Three Lions at the Royal Variety Performance. Skinner recalled how, after he sang the England football anthem at the Royal Albert Hall, Sophie said: “Well, don’t give up your day job.” When she told them they were not used to live audiences, Skinner replied that as a stand-up comic he had “done a bit of live stuff”. The royal said: “Yeah, but you haven’t done anywhere the size of this.” Skinner replied: “Look, I did the Palladium last Sunday.” He said she looked at him as if you say: “You’re not supposed to be arguing.”
