I can,t think why he chose the 1990 edition if he started his crawl in 2005, i bet quite a few of them had shut down.
Fair play to the lad though.:notworthy::notworthy:

Fantastic story, now if we can just get his 700 reviews.
17,000 pubs in 26 years, thats averaging close to two a day which is quite impressive...
Must have an impressive back catalogue. Conrad should sign him up.
Yeah, this whole story is very confusing. I get the impression he started doing GBG pubs in 1984 with that years version of the guide.Quote:

I spotted this in the paper yesterday. It's the sort of stupid thing I would do. Now, where's my current Yellow Pages.:confused:
Currently working on GBG 2002.. Done 120 pubs plus around 50 pubs either closed or changed pub's name.
At last count since 1995 I have visited over 1,500 pubs around the UK. Sampled beer in every county except Cumbria.
Done 57 Tamworth pubs in single day for charity using only public transport and walking.
Now currently trying to visit every football league grounds (33 out of 92) and First Class Cricket grounds.. I done 15 so far..
Can you define "done"! Even at half a pint a pub this would be way off the scale to all but Oliver Reed.Quote:
