    9/50 for me and yes there are some good pubs but what on earth is the Crooked House at Himley doing there? Utter dreadful beer, just the novelty value I guess.

    Just three for me. I quite like the Jubilee Refreshment Rooms, Sowerby Bridge, but if he's as well travelled as he says he is, I'm puzzled as to why he chose it over Stalybridge Buffet Bar, or the West Riding Licensed Refreshment Rooms, Dewsbury.

    Two or maybe three if you include both versions of the Gun.

    I still don't believe he could average 1,000 new pubs a year for 50 years though, unless he had no job and no personal relationship.

    Initially, I took it all at face value, without thinking about it too much. However, it does seem increasingly far fetched.
