    What they're all trying to say, but are too polite to actually get the words out, is "you mad bastard".

    Oh, all right then. Well done, Quinno!

    An eccentric but noble quest.

    Congratulations Quinno!

    This has been quite an interesting side issue from the general pub ticking, I got nowhere near Quinnos great achievements, nor did I try or expect too, I made an unscientific prediction of about 50 from general pub going. I have ended up with 80 unique new pubs on the list . Out of interest the stats are as follows,
    Most new pubs visited in 2016 by name was The Crown with 5,
    Highest ranking pub name (new) not visited was nos 19 The Black Horse,
    Lowest ranking pub actually visited(new) was nos 245 The Red House.

    I was genuinely surprised by how many pub names I'd never actually done. 92 Commercials and none had ever had a Quinno visit prior to this year??

    Feels like I've corrected an oversight

    Nothing wrong with the Forestes in Melksham. I liked this pub especially as me and my mate were the oldest in it by a good 20 years....
