    Of course the online version is unsuitable for the S@n’s proper purpose as it cannot be cut into squares

    Or the Codsall Station and the King and Castle at Kidderminster. I'm happy, one of my 12 is the Great Western.

    Correction, it's 13 for me and I've found a major error. The Plough at Wistanstow is in deepest Shropshire and nowhere near Staffs. It's been the Woods Brewery Tap since they started brewing and certainly was when I darkened its door in the early 1980s. It doesn't disprove his claim of 50,000 pubs but it is a very basic error.

    But was it his error - perhaps one of the Sun's sub-editors made the mistake (perish the thought)?

    Possibly getting the county wrong but the bit about it having become the Wood's Brewery Tap since his visit in 2006 sound like his words and is completely wrong.

    10 for me. I thought it was going to be more as I'd visited 10 of the first 20, the it all went a bit "tits up".

    Another less relevant point with his top 50 is that the Dronfield Three Tuns closed nearly 18 months ago.
