Are there no buses? Plus Bus bought (for less than the price of a pint) with train tickets, or bus passes for those of us lucky enough to have reached the state pension age can take a lot of the...

I'm hoping to sober up before my 70th birthday...

I was planning to go there on my 60th too! I was too drunk to make it, though - well, it was going to be the last pub of the night and I'd been drinking since lunchtime. Maybe I'll be there for my...

Of course you do. But Thornbridge didn't. They thought that either the old customers would welcome the chance to drink German lagers with names they couldn't pronounce, or they could just f*** off. I...

I know you did, and so did some other reviewers on this site. I'm not saying you were wrong to like it, of course. But when you go in a pub two or three times a week you get to know it in a way that...

Some of you may remember my cry of pain 10 years ago when the Bath Hotel was leased by Thornbridge Brewery. They say that good things come to those who wait, and I've been waiting long enough, but...

Have you changed your email address?

Nice map, Jim! Could you do me one for the Rhinos vist to Salford next Sunday please?

I've changed it to the more normal The Brunswick. I've also deleted the old website and Facebook links, and added the pub's new Facebook page.

Ha Ha!

The true figures are 17 pints at the KIT so far this year (seven of Blue Bee Triple Hop, the rest Blue Bee American Five Hop) and only seven and a half at the Fat Cat, mostly Kelham Island...

I just found out. Unexpected to say the least.

I feel I must take some of the blame, as I have been going in the Kelham Island Tavern rather more than the Fat Cat this year.

I have removed the couple of pub follows I used to have. I follow Sheffield (can't remember why), and my last notification was on 19th April.

I was going to rest on 44 for the month, but this morning remembered that I had planned but not executed a trip past Barnsley on the train - three pubs in Penistone and three more in the villages...

I'm going to have a look around Hinckley soon - with the aid of some very cheap train tickets to Leicester: £1.65 each way - so I'll make sure I document all the pubs before they close down upon the...

Get well soon!

I can't help much with a report, partly because I bailed at 3:30pm, catching a train to Leeds (only just!) so that I could watch Leeds Rhinos win in fairly unconvincing style....

Yes, good to have Matthew join us.

Here's another photo:

I think you are being a bit generous with your "OK" there, Gill! I thought it was lazy and generic, and a complete rip off. It's bad enough charging £5.50 a pint in Lancashire, but then to charge £3...

Yes, nice one from Oggy. But I see the pub has changed hands, so surely time for a revisit? :evilgrin:

...which kind of brings us back to where we started, with "becks, peroni and amstel"!

Some people are reassured by the names of beers they recognise. I can sympathise to a certain extent, as the...

Yes, it's like real ale buffs who denigrate Doom Bar, London Pride and Greene King IPA. There's always a pecking order.

Well, it wouldn't attract me or you, but we're not the only ones who use the site! Reviews are there for anyone to read, not just real ale drinkers.

I used to ask for sparklers to be taken off, but when the bar staff are used to the swan necks, they still put the nozzle right at the bottom of the glass, and they get puzzled when no head appears!...

This is because their pricing policy involves a calculation based on abv - see my recent review: Southampton Arms

or to save you clicking, and for future reference (as if ;) ) "...the new (or new...

That's very sad news. Hope you can make it to another outing some time.
