Go on, lease the Queens, someone. It was in the GBG last time I was here, and could be again with Doom Bar and a mobility scooter outside.
My second GBG tick (yes, two newbies) is another little corker.
Not really a place to take photos, surreptitious or otherwise (see also : Boothstown), but you’ll get the idea from this.
At the bar the nice lady asked me “Are you one of them CAMRA ?”, sussing me on account of my Oliver Reed T-shirt I guess, and I said “NO, and thrice NO”, therefore missing out on a 5p discount. It was only £1.70 a half, anyway.
I only take the CAMRA discount in Spoons as I don’t want to pay less than the locals do.
For the third time that day the Gower Gold (the Welsh Ghost Ship) is a tasty NBSS 3+, and suddenly I’m seeing less pumps/better quality again.
A 10 minute half, just enough to enjoy a soundtrack totally out of kilter with the pub’s clientele;

At least Martin wasn’t asked whether he was “One of them CAMRA, life members?”

I though “Cock, Cwrw, Carmarthen – oh come on” was the title of one of Martin’s blogs, but I can’t find it in the archive.

Line from Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood. The musical Cabaret was based on it. Tried to post the link to Wiki but it didn’t work.
