    Yes I got charged £3.70 for a half in The Chandos.Interesting beer but I didn't want to drink a pint straight off.

    Thanks for the heads up,I normally avoid Sam Smith pubs but was curious to try the Stingo.

    Me too, so I made a detour on my way to the game in Luton last night (yes, I know London is not on the way to Luton from Sheffield, but, you know...) but the Stingo had sold out in both the Princess Louise and the Cheshire Cheese.

    Why isn't it available in Yorkshire, dammit?

    After a few days awaiting further supplies from Tadcaster, it's now back on in the Chandos.

    Sad state of affairs when the locals cant club together to try a pint of an 8.0 beer but probably true.

    Off topic I'm afraid - I don't know if you really are interested in The Clash, but there's an exhibition on at the Museum of London: https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/mu...40-years-clash

    Yes am interested in them.Amazing to see Joe Strummers lyrics in his notebook. Actually worked on the building of the museum in early 70,s probably about the same time as he was writing those lyrics. cheers
