    Latest BITE posting by Gill 1/2 Pt doesn't look too promising. I wish her well - she's got a great attitude to life!

    Great to have Gill here. A traveller around G.B with knowledge of pubs and beer few of us can match.

    ...and it looks like Manky Badger is also on his way. Not heard from John Bonser yet though. I should have been a recruitment consultant!! BITE is really having a bad day although I don't get much satisfaction from saying it.

    There are some really cool ideas that have been floated, the McGraw's came up with a stormer, basically we get business cards made up to promote ourselves and then give them out to members who can leave them in pubs if they like, which is really low cost for us, and hopefully some of the members would enjoy it.
    I personally use vistaprint.com - they have a little advert in tiny writing on the back, and you get your business cards for free! Or you can pay to have their advert taken of, it's worth a look at. A great idea by the way - tag line could be 'rate this pub at pubsgalore.com'

    it could have "You've just been rated on PG" - or personal ones - "You've just been Souped!"

    Yes, and it would be good for the site in that the cards would presumably only be left in pubs that members actually liked, therefore encouraging positive reviews. That does provide a slight downside, in that poor pubs may not be noted as such (apart from the member's review, hopefully), and also that the card may well end up behind the bar with the risk that the owner/manager/staff all write glowing reports, regardless of the pub's actual merits.
    That said, the site is in desperate need of some review coverage, which is very weak indeed, so anything to kick-start contributions from other than forum members (whose offerings, I should say in deference, will usually be the most reliable), must be a good thing.
    As with any expanded coverage, PG will then be likely to attract a small proportion of spoilers, but I'm sure Conrad is ready & waiting with his .22 for the duck-shoot. There's an unmissably aggravating style that Biters will recognise, & we'll be happy to alert you to definite & possible culprits. Btw, Conrad, have you the facility to ban an IP address? If so, have you ever used it, was it successful in any degree in removing serial spoiler ids?

    Well, it beats ''You've just been archived!''
