    slightly later (ahem!) than planned, all my reviews from the Challenge are now up on PUG

    https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/counties/rutland/

    Annoyingly the stats show the county as not 100% complete, but that's because of https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/areas/k...eicestershire/ which is listed as Rutland, when it very much is not (is it possible to change this?)

    This is the age-old post-town madness, courtesy of the Royal Mail, which was based on where the postman walked, cycled or rode a horse from in Victorian times to deliver letters rather than administrative boundaries...

    I hope the answer is no as I can think of a plethora of more important other discrepancies that really should take preference over this. If your request goes ahead then it will show the site to be an elite club rather than a true and better alternative to the Dark Side which I am fairly certain it has become.

    Fair comment, so apologies for what probably appeared to be a swivel-eyed rant!
    I went to this place on Friday that has about as much connection to Wolverhampton as the Borough of Hackney. I got the last bus just after 14:00 to Shifnal via a series of delightful country lanes that are wholly unsuited to a van let alone a full sized bus, and there was no Old Ale on!

    Great work Sir Quinno, and hat duly doffed! Noticed the review of The Crown Tavern - might add it to my hitlist to see if I can recreate the weirdness you encountered...

    Let's have a quick referendum (advisory, of course):

    Option 1: Dave to redesign the whole site, ignoring postal towns and traditional counties, and making it possible for anyone who thinks he's done the whole county of Rutland to be able to prove it to his mates by pointing to the stats on a website.

    Option 2: Quinno to just suck it up.
    Come On You Hatters!
