    Default What Pub Rip Off

    After looking at some pubs in SE1 for a London crawl i had a look at this pub The Grand Union

    Rex reviewed the pub in late 2013, What Pub claims to have reviewed the pub on 5/2/14,but the short review they do of the pub contains parts of

    Rex's longer review to the word.

    I wonder if they are ripping off any more Pubs Galore reviews.

    I wonder if Rex is a CAMRA member who has donated reviews and pictures to WhatPub as well as PuG? I know I have provided the same pictures and almost the same reviews to both sites.

    I know that Rex's pic of the Rochester Castle Spoons in Stoke Newington is the same as the one on Whatpub. I would be very surprised if Whatpub did blatantly steal his review. I use both sites as Whatpub usually has the opening hours and have gladly assisted Whatpub when I can. I'm certain I saw something in the forum about Rex going to a CAMRA meeting, something I'm sure he wouldn't put himself through unless he was a CAMRA member!

    I know Rex very well, he is a CAMRA member and I know he does help to update Whatpub too.

    Thanks MM. You're right, they didn't rip me off - I have provided loads of stuff to WhatPub, including The Grand Union that Alan mentioned.

    Thanks for sorting that one out Rex,

    I thought you were a South West London Camra member,this is the reason i did'nt think about you reviewing South East Londons area pubs,but i dont know how Camra runs things anway.
