May 2025. Derby.
Right, even I’m bored of Derby now, and I jumped at the chance to slip away early while Life After Football looked for a pub with Jamaican tonic wine as a nightcap (at 4pm).
Paul had called time, too, so I had the perfect excuse to escort him back to the station via the Alexandra,
I’d stayed here for £30 once, I think that worked out about 3p per calorie in the cooked breakfast.
A pint of that Caramel Custard Doughnut Milk Stout for anyone who can tell me what I drank to finish the day, in the absence of Bass.
Paul bought the beer, so he may have an advantage here.
Whatever, it was the best conditioned cask of the day (NBSS 3.5+).
Right. Coming soon, Scunthorpe.

Some remarkably good recall Martin…I salute you!!! Definitely the most ‘hazy’ day for a while!

Like me you had the Castle Rock Harvest Pale, except only a half pint.

I’m sorry, Paul, you don’t win that pint of Caramel Custard Doughnut Milk Stout. I sense your disappointment from Sheffield.

I did the White Horse with LAF and Quinno, then we joined Andy and Pete and Jon in the Tiger. The same group then went on to the Neptune, where LAF made an exit, as did Jon. The remaining four then went on to the Alexandra (are you following this?), and I talked Quinno into having a final half each in the Victoria.
The question is, if there were 13 pubs and eight pub surveyors, how many pub surveys would there have been if they were all conscientious rather than stocious, and what was the average number of surveyors per pub?

Got headache just reading that. It was that 1664 to blame.
