    1 first pub you drank in - The Cupid, Hemel Hempstead. 16 years old. Long since demolished for road widening.
    2 last pub you visited - Beer House, Ecclesall Road, Sheffield - 20th March 2020
    3 last beer you had in a pub - Triple Point Debut US-style IPA 5.5% (cask)
    4 first beer fest visited - Can't remember
    5 last beer fest visited - Camra GBBF 2020 Winter in Birmingham (4th February)
    6 total reviews on PG – 2599 of 2452 pubs
    7 do you have to have a drink in a pub to review – I will review pubs that I've tried to have a drink in, but I'll only give a rating for a pub if I've had a drink. I also use the review box if I think it's useful to give information about a closed pub or a soon-to-be-opened pub (though the latter I will either change to a proper review or delete).
    8 have you done a Winfield 22 .nearest total in a day – 20 pubs (Alan Winfield Memorial Pub Crawl, Stapleford 5th September 2018)
    9 fav PG crawl – Newcastle under Lyme
    10 least fav PG crawl – London (bus route 38)
    11 first pub reviewed – Fox & Goose Inn, Wigley, Chesterfield 13th September 2010 (a generous 8)
    12 last pub reviewed – Uig Hotel, Isle of Skye (7) – visited last summer, review posted this week
    13 happy to drink in Wetherspoons – No - boycotting after three times being asked to pay for my beer before they would start pouring
    14 camra member - Yes
    15 should we have interior pictures of pubs - Yes
    16 is there any purpose in posting multiple pictures of a pub – Yes, but not several shots of the same view: be selective and upload your best shots. (If you've uploaded an interior shot, would you be barred from uploading an exterior too? No, I thought not.)
    17 if you had to go for a drink with one of these which one Sam,Tim,or Boris – If you mean Humphrey Smith when you say Sam, then probably him. I would only go for a drink with the other two if they were with Nigel and all three were drinking a deadly poison so I could watch them all die in agony.
    18 no cask so which one bud,fosters carling ,stella – None of them, unless I had cycled a long way on my bike to get there and there were no other pubs around, in which case I'd likely join you in a Stella
    19 cask but which one doom,pride ,pedigree or bass – Pride if it's in a Fullers pub, otherwise Bass
    20 fav beer this year – Torrside Kneel Before Grod imperial stout 9.5%, Shakespeare's, Sheffield, 12th & 13th March. Can I have another, please?
    Come On You Hatters!

    2) Rose & Crown E17
    3) Redemption Big Chief

    5) Rose & Crown early November.
    6) 2143 pubs
    7) Yes and a pint. There's only one pub where I had a half of Guinness.
    8) No, but I did have a pint in 14 Cambridge pubs with the two Spoons and the Adnam's pub done before midday.
    9) Probably Newcastle Under lyme

    11) Not sure
    12) The Bird In Hand, Stourbridge
    13) Yes, despite the beer choice spiralling down.
    14) Yes, life member. If I had to renew I would have not done so over National Bass Day.
    15) Yes, but not on front page.

    As far as I know, this was not a Camra initiative.

    It's not but Protz gave support to it in his last editorial.
