How sad that some Pubs Galore members dont want the Tour to come to Yorkshire,Cambridgeshire and London,this is probably a once in a lifetime event

millions of people turned out to watch it,if i lived in the areas where it as running through i would have watched it go by just for the experience of watching it live.

If you really dont like bike racing going through your area then why not hole up in a pub while the whole shabang goes by.

It is now back in France so nothing to moan about now.

I watched it when it came to Portsmouth, like you say, a once in a lifetime event and I was happy to go and see it, but I used the bus and walked

Not shown, but the cutting the neck off with a sabre is impressive, I think it is mainly used on Champagne, not brown ale though

I was beginning to take this bloke seriously until I came to this sentence :-

To boost sales, he will add food, repair tattered pool tables and widen the beer selection – offering popular ales such as Doom Bar.

Very much hmm we shall see, at least he sounds like he knows how to run a business, and I guess aiming at the likes of Aqualung is not his prime objective

Thing is, Doombore, GK IPA and their likes are popular,whatever we might think.
