Many thanks for the photo's everybody. Pictorial rememberances of a very good afternoon..
Although it may have been one of the more expensive PuG meet ups for beer prices (as I recall celebrations were in order whenever we achieve a half at under £2) , I think for the ones I have been on it qualifies as the one with the best weather, the most scenic traverse from one pub to another (despite AEM's dodgy smart phone google maps interpretation of a footpath to Ye Olde Fighting Cocks), and without trying to sound sexist but firmly in the tradition camp that a jovial barmaid who is good on the eye adds to a Gentlemans drinking pleasure, the trip with the best Barmaid count with the young lass in the Goat heading the pack..
Fortunately my trip home was made considerable easier with my good lady driving out to SA to lead me to Zizzi's for a bite to eat. I'm not sure I qualified as scintilating company but I did really appreciate not having to suffer death by snail transport, or the 84A bus from St Albans to Potters Bar as it is otherwise known.

Six pounds please said the barmaid.
£2 a half my arse, come up north my friends.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Did we pay more than £2.90 a pint anywhere?On the Northern splinter PuG crawl around Wakefield, it was my round in the Kings Arms in Horbury.

My original plan was to keep us around town but that was a lovely walk through the park and 2 good pubs the Fighting cocks and the Six bells.Memorable day indeed.cheers
Can't argue with that, though I did enjoy my day out "dahn sarf". I had 16 halves in the course of the day and the average cost was £1.84/half. Two of the pubs I went in charged me £2.10 for a half (Great Northern and Fighting Cocks, since you ask). Cheapest were the Blacksmiths Arms (£3.15 for two halves) and the Hare & Hounds (£1.55 for a half). Also at the cheaper end of the spectrum were the Six Bells and White Hart Tap at £1.75, but putting my Northern hat back on, those now seem downright extortionate!£2 a half my arse, come up north my friends.
Come On You Hatters!
I hope that pub has had bar billiards marked as a yes...

I couldn't agree more but would include the West Midlands and other Midland Counties!£2 a half my arse, come up north my friends.
In the Liverpool Lime Kiln JDW on Saturday the beer prices from the menu were as follows :-
Ruddles Best £1.25
Guest Beers From £1.45 (most were £1.65)
Broadside £1.60
London Pride & Dore Bore £1.75
Abbot a colossal £1.90
It's a Lloyds so all hell is unleashed at 21:00 and it's a dull building but I had three superbly kept different Locale Peerless beers all at £1.65 apart from the one that came with a Tuna Mayo baguette. The food prices are average but obviously the cheap free drink makes then effectively more expensive!
It has. The Goat.
