10/15 - like Moby, several 'one of the three' moments...

7/15 - all but one was a guess, the Orwell link 'cos I drink in the Compton Arms and they make sure to staking a claim that it was his Moon Under Water inspiration; they're probably right too.

I marked it as open today on the strength of two things. It turns out today is the 150th anniversary of the station which explains the unusual opening date. The second is that it's showing on the JDW site as being open. I haven't been there myself and won't be going for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if it's even more expensive than the Victoria outlet.

I will do my best to call in on Saturday!

To quote Mr Orwell (or Blair)

"But, to be fair, I do know of a few pubs that almost come up to the Moon Under Water. I have mentioned above ten qualities that the perfect pub should have and I know one pub that has eight of them. Even there, however, there is no draught stout, and no china mugs."

You could argue about the detail, but this list isn't too far off the mark from my experience (bar the three or four I haven't yet visited).

So much depends on the date and time visited and the current management & staff. My top W Midlands one would be the Bishop Vesey.

Haven't been in a single one mentioned, and that's more than enough.

Just the one for me - Kings Heath's The Pear Tree visited just a couple of weeks ago.
