    It's Cottage that have the particularly trainy names for their beers, I'm still waiting for one called "Bullied's Light Pacific".

    BTW beer of the week:- so far only one contender York Centurion's Ghost, but 3 days drinking to go

    You jogged my memory about the "Ugly Sisters" I seem to remember a pint of it lasted so long I lost interest in it and ordered a pint of something else.
    Thanks forthe kind words. Glad it wasn't just us with the 'Ugly Sisters'. Sounds like it's definitely the beer.

    Filthy 'rail porn' perverts! Clear off the lot of you, or I'm calling the police.

    Well I do look a bit like Compo, especially in the wellys and wooly hat. Not sure I'd pass muster in Royston Vaisey though, not being local.

    At least you spared me the wellies.

    The owner of Little Ale Cart has another pub apart from the Wellington. It's The Dragon in Worcester which has the Beer Tickers Conned sign up on the wall.

    It's the only other place in the country that stocks Little Ale Cart beers or so I was told by the landlord in the Dragon.

    Hmm, well I've never been to Worcester but thought I'd seen it elsewhere. Watson, where's the rolodex?
