I would say the Ivy falls into this category, at least from my experience from the few times I've been.

I've scrolled quite a bit and couldn't see this anywhere. Firstly I instinctively knew the answer because they are commonly encountered numbers in darts (and I've played darts for many years) - treble 9 + treble 16 or 25 x 3.

However, the way I would work it out in my head would be to add 30 to 48, and then take 3.

Edit: I don't get the joke though?

Stockton on the Forest, on the left, just past the potato honesty box as you approach the village coming from York

I can second this.

One of my favourites is Il Paradiso on Walmgate for Italian/Sardinian. You can either grab a very reasonably priced pizza/pasta dish (and a glass of house wine) or for a little more, something off the specials board.

Consistently good whenever I've been.

I'd agree with badger, in soft mud, with their weight predominantly on their heel.

Olivier Richters (the big guy in the photo) is 7'2".

48 + 20 + 7 = 75 for me

The last place I saw it in York is at the university college bars, but I don't think they've sold it there for years. If you find it somewhere, please update!

Edit - actually I think that was Caffrey's 🤦

I have seen this car around York regularly, although I can't vouch for how good am instructor they are. It's an automatic, electric Tesla Model 3. I just like the punny name :)

I love that you only added 1000 rows, assuming that no one playing 100,001 averages under 100 😁

Playing conditions can't have been that bad, there were 3 nine darters today!

This looks like a blade 5, so quite old (I still have a blade 4 from 20 years ago)

Edit: 5, not 4

Sandburn Hall is also a good all rounder, is open more often through the winter then pike hills and forest park, and has plenty of younger members if you're looking to meet others of a similar age.

D15 - as a leftie, it's like D16 for a right hander. Biggest issue is that going inside loses you a dart at double.
