I detect a walk on part as a drunken English tourist coming up.

That is preferable to Madonna and infinately better than finding out that Elton John and David Furnish are both your dad!

Funny you mentioning Elton John as the site we stay on in Old Windsor for the Egham fest this weekend is supposed to back onto his pad. The locals are objecting to plans to create a site for travellers, and his name cropped up when I googled the site. The notices in the village notice boards made interesting reading when we were there at Easter, so I will be looking for an update this time round. Couple of decent real ale pubs nearby too.

I think we could have fun with this line;

"More than 7000 Glaswegians tried out for parts as zombies in an open casting session last month."

All done for the week - now on the train home. Haven't done a count up but I would estimate I have done about 50 pubs across the 3 cities and managed to get photos of about 100 (including the interiors of every one I went in) so someone in admin will be busy this week. Found quite a few new ones to be added as well. Several excellent beers to be found and plenty of PG virgin territory now covered.Managed to get all the intended football grounds for matches or tours although the Hearts, Hibs and Celtic fans will be glad I'm no longer around having watched 3 away wins including the collectors item of St Johnstone winning at Parkhead. The sound of 50,000 seriously pissed off Celtic fans is quite an experience.The movie set was an added bonus - they sealed off the streets so couldn't see much of the action but once they finished filming you could wander through the set and see the dozens of smashed up and overturned cars littering the streets. Good job I knew it was a movie - I thought Glasgow was always like this. I'm gonna have a lot of writing up and uploading to do this week!
