    Default On ITV, Thursday 18th December @ 7.30: Losing Your Local?

    'A programme investigating whether we are in danger of losing our locals, or can the great British boozer bounce back?'

    Sounds like it should be worth a peek.

    Yes I believe the local will die out in a lot of areas.You can see it in London In the multi -cultural areas and the estate pubs around the suburbs.You can see it already in Hounslow -Feltham-Uxbridge.Pubs will survive but only if they change with the times.

    Well now you've all seen The Baum!

    All the clips of real ale being pulled and most of the internal shots were from there.

    A certain Green Mill Old Git was on the bar and Becky even got a (very) short clip to herself.

    For a half hour programme, aimed at the general public, I actually thought it was pretty good. However, it would have been nice to see Brigid Simmonds squirm a little more.
