French law now requires us to have breathalysers in the car. I presume we all know about this?

My random news, just coming in by text, is that CASK (Pimlico) has Mallinsons showcase starting tmw. My pal was very disappointed with the clear down meaning today's selection was poor.

Might be worth a trip over for their beer festival in Norwich. Used to go for the week and do a trawl of the pubs while there. Seems to have improved since we were there a few years ago.
Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
I was in Norwich on the day they were doing their pub survey,i did'nt see anybody doing this on my walk round 20 pubs,i was'nt really looking for top real ale pubs just doing pubs i hav'nt been in before,i did 3 keg only pubs and after looking through my notes i wrote down 53 different real ales on in 17 pubs.
I am pleased for Norwich taking this crown off Derby as Norwich is such a nice city to wander around with some really nice pubs.
