    Probably the only good month with a holiday and a couple of trips - 48 new reviews giving me 162 for the year to date. Closures and lock-downs not boding well for remainder of year though.
    On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement

    And so it proved ,with the year to date total moving to 50.


    October should see some new ticks in Digbeth and possibly Stratford on Avon but progress will be slow.

    A visit to The Green Man takes me to three, and the first since Lockdown.

    No, quite acceptable,if a bit on the cold side.

    I think a lot of these pub websites go through modelling agencies to get pretty young things in, in a bid to attract similar. I've been to places where the customers certainly don't match the crowds on the websites! But I suppose there aren't many agencies which specialise in models who look like Jack Hargreaves or Shaun Rider.
