Going Dutch.

Exactly. He seems to be behaving as if the breweries owe him a living, as if he should have a monopoly on the sale and distribution of their beers. If he wants to have a go at someone, perhaps he...

Yes. It's the third most expensive pub I've visited which is why I never have more than one pint but as a regular, going about twice a week, I got an unofficial loyalty discount of about 30p per...

Would love to be in the above.

Otherwise, my favourite new pub of 2020 (and now one of my favourite London pubs): The Lord Tredegar.

But if I were in my favourite local, within a 30-minute walk...

And now France (mort la difference). And also the Germans - what's in a name? Spain...

What a bummer, eh?

I should have joined the 1,000-club years ago, but for my dogged quest to review only purpose built pubs dating from at least before World War II, aside for those that crop up...

Yup. There was an item on BBC Radio 4 a couple of months ago, with their reporters calling in from major European capitals and they said that the public thought that their politicians aren't doing a...

And now it's time for Corona Quiz!

8/12 for me.

There was indeed, with pretty much little remaining as evidence of the small chain's existence, with trademark pink awnings and depiction of a Sikh riding a penny-farthing; here's the former Maida...

Korma Chameleon? :whistle:

Perhaps a future crawl venue?

If only they weren't curved...:whistle:



These little things would get mown down by the narrowboats that navigate the storm tossed waters of the Regent's Canal. Another deterrent is that the...

Quite a [pricey] menu.

Hopefully we'll get the Oxford/AstraZeneca batch soon which doesn't need defrosting, brewed by our scientists who drink at the Turf Tavern and the Bear - what's not to like?

Quite soothing but initially quite Freudian.



You can do something amounting to both here.

Don't you mean labelled pinot noir?:whistle:

This story is an absolute corker - you've got to admire their bottle! ;) If you think this story is off kilter, from the same paper yesterday, try this for size.

Quite so. He would have known that he was going to live in a very safe Labour seat. Perhaps he just liked drinking in the Charles Lamb.

Indeed. Maison Bozzer's end of terrace ahead, towpath entrance at right. With his Labour MP up the road. Perhaps that's the real reason why he sold up.
