Pubs Galore - the UK pub guide

[QUOTE=Gann;93732]Here's one with the missing gentleman, taken in Wellers... [ATTACH]1641[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] And a couple of others, from the Greyhound:

[QUOTE=oldboots;93737] Wigan - I was there at the weekend and it's fine but maybe not quite enough good pubs Lancaster - good but are there enough good pubs and there can be travel problems for anyone coming via Leeds/Settle (me) Macclesfield - never been drinking there but looks good on first glance Newcastle - been many a time but can be pricey on the ECML. Durham - ditto but a nicer more compact city at least Sheffield - lost count of the number of times I've been but if we avoid the usual suspects it should be OK Two left field suggestions:- Chesterfield - just not enough good pubs (and I can't stand the place). Chorley & Leyland - never been drinking but it looks like plenty of pubs although the bus between Chorley & Leyland could be a problem.[/QUOTE] Wigan - I agree: maybe not quite enough good pubs (I went there with Ray and Fiona two (?) years ago) Lancaster - I can't see many coming up from the south (or from North Yorkshire ;)). Macclesfield - looks good on first glance - I went there with Ray and Fiona three (?) years ago. Not sure there are sufficient good pubs within a reasonable area. Maybe it's got better since? Newcastle - Helluva long train journey for southerners Durham - I'd like to do this some time (but see Newcastle) Sheffield - I agree: if we avoid the usual suspects it should be OK. But maybe some people would like to do the usual suspects? (This is probably best done as a double header, with a tailor-made crawl on the Friday and those who haven't done the usual suspects (or who want to do them again) doing them on Thursday or Saturday.) Two (very) left field suggestions:- Chesterfield - I disagree with both your objections but it is indubitably in the bloody Midlands FFS Chorley & Leyland - never been drinking there and not sure I ever will and it's also a bit of a slog for southerners (but there's a train between them every hour - only takes 11 minutes, so your objection about the buses may be nugatory?). Which leaves us with Manchester... PS Sorry if my answers chime/clash with Aqualung's - we were evidently writing at the same time!

A slow week Young's Bitter Hop Back GFB Flowerpots Perridge Pale Adnams Cucumelon Adnams T Drop Isle Of Purbeck Solar Power Shefford Plum Mild Adnams T Drop is BOTW, possibly an acquired taste featuring exotic stuff like Earl Grey tea, Jasmine and Hibiscus, weird but worked for me.

[QUOTE=aleandhearty;93726]Uncharacteristically dyspeptic of you 'ob'. Do you despair because it's become so ubiquitous, or do you just not like the flavour profile?[/QUOTE] stinks of BO to me, disgusting weed.

[QUOTE=rpadam;93584]Norfolk pub puts up 'grandstand' for World Cup football fans here at The Railway Tavern, Dereham.[/QUOTE] You can imagine the scene tonight, if England score against Tunisia, all the locals will turn and face each other, giving high sixes. :evilgrin:
