I may be brave enough to revisit Station Inn since my "unpleasant" experience
Will keep you updated and bring back with reports.
Just DONT talk about Bonnie Prince Charlie - OB ensured that the whole of Derby knows about him - oh, and dont mention the war
On the plus side, ask every woman you meet where the Flowerpot is - we may re-unite OB with the mystery 'gal'

Don't get me started (again) on that bluddy italian chancer who .....
anyway as Soupy says don't mention the war to mad ex- riflemen in the Dolphin; "to the regiment - I wish I'd been there".
Don't worry about the Station it's probably only worth a quick pint, I look forward to seeing your reviews - it will aid our next visit. I'd like to be there but unfortunately I think I can only do one more biggish crawl before Christmas, maybe the Sheffield Valley of Beer part II or the Rail-Ale to Stalybridge and back. I might manage a midweek night in Netherton (Ma Pardoes) in mid December and one in Salford or Manchester the day after. I'm definitely having a Thursday night in Liverpool in December.

Just managed a couple of the derby reviews so far OB - Station and Alex. Keep me posted on Netherton, i may be able to make that if you on your own. We can chat about the Titanic - i think that's where they made the anchors! Needless to say, you cant get a pint of iceberg to save your life in Netherton!

Wasn't it the anchor chains? I'll PM you about W.Mids once confirmed, it should be Mon 14th Dec.

I stand corrected, must have misremembered something Fred Dibnah said, bludy Guinness drinkers. Nice site

The anchor is the only thing still intact on the Titanic - legend has it they mixed Ma Pardoe's Dark Swan into the iron when casting!

By the way, Hoppy, i was thinking of a walk from Winlecote up to Fazeley, is it worth doing?
