    Thumbs up A huge thank you to Kake

    Those following closely will know about Kake on the forum and how we have worked to hopefully improve visibility of the Randomness Guide to London on PuG and reciprocally she has arranged links to our site alongside the existing links to BITE.

    Anyway, Dave, and myself by proximity, were quite irritated by an article in CAMRA's beer magazine that mentioned BITE's site and gave publicity for their forums. It is irritating to us for the obvious churlish reasons, and also as they no longer have forums.

    Anyway it was a pleasure to spot today that CAMRA have published a clarification for Beer magazine in their websites members area. In it Kake has set the record straight about the BITE forums and also said some very kind words about our site. It was really nice to be able to read that she made the effort, so thanks a lot.

    I also want to say to ensure that we do not malign her neutrality - this was completely unprompted, which of course makes the gesture that much more generous.

    I did spot that particular snippet in the CAMRA rag and it did get my back up a bit! Glad Kake has put them right. Well done K!

    I'm a CAMRA member and was quite curious to take a look. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it. Can anybody guide me to it?

    I meant Kake's reply not the original article.

    It's in the forums at

    Home >> Forums >> CAMRA Publications >> What's Brewing & BEER Magazine

    If you aren't signed up for the forums you will only see the Save Our Pubs section. Let me know if you can't find or access it and I'll PM it to you (to avoid copyright, etc difficulties)

    Good reply from Kake. Is it just me or are the CAMRA forums really boring? (add yawning icon here)
