    Or Wetherspoons 8 real ales.
    Or Typical Weterspoons with real ales and a few scallys,but still decent enough.

    Three different types of reviews the choice is yours.
    I think reviews consciously/subconsciously reflect the personality (lack in my case) of the reviewer. We all have our own modus operandi which is a good thing anyway time for my next session "Let me tell you ... https://youtu.be/pE_x3UC1f3o

    Al, none of those example are of any help to other users.I want to know what beers are on in London pubs.It gives me an idea if its the sort of pub I want to tick.I too have never had acclaim even though I do brilliant reviews and have singlehandedly raised the standard of this site.

    I don't really drink real ale anymore. I much prefer a nice cold pint of euro fizz, preferably Fosters because I can gulp it down. However, after visiting a pub I always list the cask options available even though they are of little interest to me. I do this to thank London Calling for his herculean effort in teaching us mere mortals how pub reviewing should be done. LC FOR MAYOR!!!

    At least I now know now why BiTe used to have more reviews than PuG. On the dark side, there is no difference between a review and a very long running forum thread!
    At least one exchange of insults made me laugh.
    After a typo, when it was said that The Hope sold a lot of dark bears, the next reviewer coined "The society for Preservation of Bears from the Woods!"

    EDIT:- Even more bored. I have just counted them! ............ 230 "reviews"!!

    Has anyone else noticed that Lester Ford the recent reviewer on here is almost certainly Lezford from the Dark Side. If Mr Ford is reading this welcome to the light (and don't take too seriously anything I say about football!).
