Much like ROBCamra, I'm limping along, now up to 142.

Just been reading about that new Batham's pub here:
https://www.expressandstar.com/news/...ame-to-hagley/
I was rather taken by this bit:
"The opening of the new pub is eagerly anticipated by local residents, not least 102-year-old Frank Fell from nearby Clent who has been drinking Bathams beer for 82 of those years. Frank, who is 103 in October, currently drinks in several Bathams pubs but is looking forward to having a new ‘local’."
82 years on the Batham's!!
I thought your reviews were fine! Some people write a book about a pub while others content themselves with a single sentence. Neither are "right" or "wrong". As for the new Batham's pub my visit will be part of a three ponged attack to find this year's XXX winter ale. I see a new reviewer has already added a picture and review. The new Holden's outlet the Golden Lion in Bridgnorth opened today but will have to wait until the new year when I hope they still have the Old Ale on.
The Wetherspoon project is completely on hold for December and January.

195 thanks to a run ashore in Pompey which saw a few repeats (some cracking pubs in Southsea) in with some new venues.
'Beer is for all day, not just for breakfast'.
Made it to 272 by end of September and with a good start to October I now need 84 more new pubs to get to 365 by the end of the year. The Pubs Galore Stockport crawl won't help all that much as I've done most of those already, so not sure where I'm going to find them...
Come On You Hatters!
A trip to Glossop for a wedding allowed me to bag another two on the way. Now on 96.
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
