When I first brought my other half to Accy to stay with my folks we called in at the Load for some Dutch courage. Being a southerner, he asked if the barman would take the sparkler off the beer tap to give him a flat pint like he was used to. The barman loosened it and it fell into Richard's pint!

Next time we looked for it the pub was gone. Richard never drives over that bridge now without a homage to that pub, his first memory of Accy.
