    YORK Pub at Risk

    http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/9984...s_bid/?ref=rss

    This is a real shame as Paul Matson has worked very hard to bring this pub back to life, it makes a good three hander on the way from the station to The Swan and The Slip. The other pubs nearby look fairly poor in comparison and not really a substitute. Note the last para about the Rook & Gaskill if you're going to York in the near future.

    I have reported the comments re drugs etc.

    I was very excited to discover on Sunday that the Rook and Gaskill is just down the road from our son's student house!

    THE boss of brewing giant CARLSBERG is out to woo the ladies — and kick-start a revival in BEER.

    Chief exec Jorgen Buhl Rasmussen told The Sun yesterday the Danish group, famed for its lager, is convinced women are the next big growth market.

    And he’s asking its 130 scientists to dream up new “innovations and concepts” to attract women — by offering sweeter-tasting beer.

    Hate this type casting drivel. I like beer. Full stop.

    Probably explains why you don't drink Carlsberg then

    Might have been good for pubs but the football wasn't worth watching.

    Knowing how keen some forumites are on ornamental twigs I thought I'd highlight this special offer fom Aldi. They even come with lights:

    Quite rightly attributed to the beer duty escalator.
