I made a right pigs ear of things by going to the wrong bus stop. I asked the driver if they went to Kings Road Roundabout and she said yes. She changed her mind when we got to the Kings Theatre and...

It sounds like the three tins of Pathmaker Pale for a fiver option may be the order of the day.

Really? PSM's review suggests a makeshift and basic area and also reveals the prices have risen by 50p a pint in under three years.

The Senile Railcard gives you discount at any time. I get discount on Anytime tickets and Advance ones before 09:30. It's the London Freedom Pass that you can't use before 09:30 weekdays on anything...

As I mentioned earlier I'll be there after 11:00 but will go from the IKB to the Hole in the Wall then the Lord Palmerston as my knees are still causing me grief. The JDW Spring fest looks more...

I've been to the Walnut Tree a few times lately and the beer choice has often been better than the Wanstead George. That's apart from the time when nearly everything went off and there was nobody...

I'm on the 09:30 from Waterloo which gets to P & S station just after 11:00. I'm returning on the 19:20. I've got to work out what I can fit in with the IKB, Hole In The Wall and the Lord Palmerston....

I bet it did, bananas generally don't work in drinks. I used to make a Parsnip & Banana wine which was acceptable.
I will be asking for a taster of this one. I used to do this with the Brodie's...

It transpires that this day is also day 3 of the JDW Spring festival so I may well extend my stay in the IKB and Southsea one depending on what is available.
The ciders for this have declined again...

I'll be avoiding the backstop plan of crossing the border into Fratton.

I know there's a few buses from the main station down to Southsea. I just need to check out what is and isn't viable on the route.

I'm sure you're right, I'm not averse to including a few more outlets but my knees have been playing up lately. I'll be taking a look at likely beers available (my number one priority) before the...

I'd go along with that, there aren't actually all that many pubs. I stayed there once nearly 40 years ago and my recollection was that it was all Grenall pubs. I was so impressed with the Ludlow tap...

I've got my £5.95 Waterloo tickets, I don't know how much of the route I will manage but I am determined to spend some time at the Hole In The Wall. I went to Ludlow last week and didn't get any...

I've just had a look at the South Western web site and tickets are now available for Friday 22nd March so the 29th should be available next week. The 09:00 train has advance tickets for £5.95 with a...

Quite honestly I'm happy with the original list and I will have my "lite" version of it anyway. Some of the pubs raised would make good optional ones for those who want to bag a trolley load of pubs,...

I'll almost certainly be doing a "lite" version of this so don't want to comment too much on the route but the King Street Tavern appears to shut for 2 hours between 15:00 & 17:00 even on a Friday. I...

It does for me however well kept the beer is, I don't like their beers at all. They've also committed the cardinal sin of watering down 6X. Their Bishop's Tipple is nothing like the original 6.5%...

I should add that I'm not suggesting moving Southsea into Portsmouth on the site! It's not worth the effort.
I agree with the above and the GBG lists more for Southsea than any other area.

I see what you're saying, postal towns rather than postcodes but surely the concept of a postal town has been lost in time or is there a list of them somewhere? I've always thought of Southsea as...

You're absolutely right there although I know nothing about the Leopold! I wouldn't want to walk from the rail station to Southsea and won't as I've got a coffin-dodgers pass. I did find it odd that...

It can't possibly be in the Midlands as it's North of Chesterfield which is in the North!

I think you would have to change at Brum but may be wrong. I can't imagine it's all that feasible as a day trip from Sheffield.

My reason for nominating Portsmouth was to visit the Hole In The Wall which I think I visited in the 1970s.
I've only been to the JDWs in recent years and would have thought that just the IKB near...

I'm currently using TFW Rail for tickets as they have free postage and yes I'm a Luddite that prefers card tickets! I'll have to check to see if TFW Rail do them.
