Last week in the Royal Oak (Borough) I watched a couple insist on having their Harveys Best from the bottle. In that pub of all pubs.... Anyway, like in your article, they were Spanish tourists too, and it had been cold that day.

Aren't Royal Mail now run by the bloke who owns most of W Ham? Make of that what you will!

So uncomfortable-looking you might expect your pint to be in a dimpled jug?

It's on today at the Hand & Marigold. Nowt special - said as a Mancunian in London in the 80s when Boddies seemed part of a pre-Oasis Northern wave, Thorntons everywhere, United rising, Sainsburys stocking Vimto. Says it all that the next pint was something else - Elusive Pursuit, great

Confirmed today at the Star Tavern, Belgravia

Plus The Victoria, Paddington. I was wowed more by last year's, but probably need to test another.

Glad you gave the guys at the Hand and Marigold a good mention. Super and ever-changing selection of beers, a fine team behind the bar, and perfect for the 42 bus home.

Kind-of, and with new laptops. The difference is that I get it delivered to the toy shop so I can enjoy a quick journey to pick it up and cuddle it all the way home.

I wonder if they're always too eyecatching anyway.

E45 might help with the scratching! But better to run our of disc space at home than when you (as in I) fail to empty the flash cards - or forget a hat!

By chance i enjoyed a pint of @trackbrewingco.bsky.social
Sonoma Pale Ale at the (excellent) Hand and Marigold in Bermondsey. Anything that beats must be quite a beer!
