It's very big for a bowling green.
Six for me, although the Pump House and the Original Oak are dreadful pubs.
Lower Lode Inn
The Pumphouse
The Original Oak
The Rat Inn
The Tyne Bar
The Final Whistle
I detest outdoor drinking most of the time, so inside drinks at those three with no visits to any of the others although I've been past most of them.
It's generally held that this one was the original with Amos Brearley and Mr Wilkes, before they moved the sets to a purpose built village on the Harewood estate. As the programme was made by...
A rather Wharfedale oriented selection, sticking mostly to Wensleydale and Swaledale means just three for me. I had a cunning plan for the George & Dragon but the plague stopped that.
Bull...
I think the legislation says a pint of beer should be 95% liquid, ie not including the head, however IIRC that section hasn't actually been activated by the right Minister so local council Weights...
The place where I had probably the worst OBB of my life.
The 10% is indeed a papal bull from Mr Humphrey, pubs have been shut and people sacked for ignoring it and giving top ups.

Ahh, that's why you're not in the group photo, mind you neither are Gill and Ray but they were on the trip too. Eight years is a long time for my addled memory.
This won't help as you weren't at Leicester but I'll put it out anyway;

IIRC the "bromance" was based on a shared love of the rollup.
Ditto, I remember Real Ale Ray made a friend there.
A bit London-centric but 9 for me as well.
Just the famous five for me, although I've a feeing I went to the Bull's Head about 32 years ago, and I've been in the new Elephant & Castle but that shouldn't count.
The Flask
Spaniards Inn...
Not been to any but it looks like only one is actually a pub.
I spotted this one this morning on Twitter and got suckered in with the tag "Never trust a London best pub list that doesn’t include the Blythe Hill Tavern", ok but having swallowed the clipbait I...
5. I'm not that keen on cold vinegar either, or London come to that.
Jugs were just about dead by the mid 1970s although we used to ask people "handle or straight" in the late 70s but by then it was usually Nonics (thin/straight/sleever) as the default or in some...
A bank robbing their customers? Is that 1. Unusual 2. Unexpected? The closer a business is to your cash the more likely they will rob you, the line between business and organised crime is vanishingly...
Crikey, 13 over the last 40 odd years, amazing for me.
Could be this one.
Where an area has not been a parish or electoral ward it is a generally fruitless exercise trying to define its boundaries, Hockley has been neither, it was apparently part of a landed estate in...
Most of the city centre ones, or the usual suspects
Craven Arms
Gunmakers
Old Joint Stock
Post Office Vaults
Shakespere
Wellington
Lamp
Jewellers Arms
All the Liverpool ones, Haunch of Venison and possibly the Coach & Horses.
The Square & Compasses almost but Mrs OB didn't let me, it's still on my list along with Tuckers Grave and the Rose &...
Just Harrogate & Glasgow for me
