    Just got my Camra Members' Investment Club statement which reveals that we are the largest single shareholder in Black Sheep at around 7%. I wonder if it will ever get to the stage that we gain real influence over some of these companies.

    Hot foot back from the Yorkshire Dales-in 8 days not one pint of Blacksheep bitter passed my lips. I do admit to drinking Riggwelter with pride and satisfaction. In this non scientific survey it appears that the ale situation there is definately improving.

    Praise the Lord. Not before time. Your good news was tempered by the realisation that it's a year since we were staying in majestic Swaledale.

    I almost had to dig my way back in on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning having 'travelled' on Southeastern's new overnight sleeper service followed by easily the scariest coach journey I've ever had. Total time from Charing Cross - 9 hours!

    Haven't tried it, but will certainly look out for it. My initial gut reaction was possibly a little thin at 4%?, although I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. I've been meaning to suggest The Good Stuff blog to the tracker column for ages. Always a good read.

    I failed to make it into London on Tuesday and today. Not sure what went wrong on Wednesday though. I'm not confident about tomorrow either. Did have a lovely walk around the local lakes this morning though before calling in at a few hostelries to ensure that the staff and management are safe and well. One has to do their community bit during such testing situations. One thing's for sure (to keep the thread subject tenuously to hand), a black sheep wouldn't get lost around here at the moment.
