These next few posts are a bit dull. Which is fine, because so is Worthing. But never mind the quality, feel the ticks. A massive FIVE (5), newbies, and one (1) of them isn’t a micropub, which is an error Adur CAMRA may need to investigate but is surely a Covid issue. No other town… Continue reading “YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE TICKING” SAYS WORTHING

SAINTS & SINNERS
Back down the M3 at the conclusion of the charity sale (total raised – £6,501) to conclude Hampshire. There would have been a mammoth FOUR new entries in Southampton, but one of the shiny and crafty by the Quayside had just closed. Shame. Still, a trio of newbies, including a Brewhouse & Kitchen, so we… Continue reading SAINTS & SINNERS
WILMSLOW – “WE HAVE TO GO BACK”
Nice easy cultural reference for our American readers there. I got lost (see what I did there ?) after about three episodes of Series 1. I’m not a big one for “Special days and anniversaries“, as you may have gathered. But I do like to be somewhere exotic on my birthday. Ghent in 2004, Belize… Continue reading WILMSLOW – “WE HAVE TO GO BACK”
NEW MOOS FROM MILTON KEYNES
Three offensive items in the photo above. Can you name them ? (not Beer Moos). Yes, a (voluntary) trip to Milton Keynes, tantalisingly close to Leighton Buzzard, which I really ought to add to Pub Curmudgeon’s shortlist of best pubbing town. I’ve been relatively kind to MK over the years (see here) , despite… Continue reading NEW MOOS FROM MILTON KEYNES
FALSE HOPE IN HIGHBURY
I’m not playing to my readership in South East London when I tell you it’s a grim journey back from East Croydon to Highbury. That’s mainly because of the ongoing work at London Bridge that requires you to seemingly climb to the top of the Shard in order to change from train to tube. Like… Continue reading FALSE HOPE IN HIGHBURY
GOOD BEER IN LONDON SHOCKER
Contrary to what you might think, I’ve nothing against London. It’s one of the top ten cities in the South, with a musical heritage stretching from Adam Ant to Gary Glitter. Music drew me there on a super off-peak slow train on Sunday; a rare one-off gig by alt-country legend William Tyler and a very… Continue reading GOOD BEER IN LONDON SHOCKER
THE CHAIN JOYS OF SUTTON COLDFIELD
An early start today to see Sutton Coldfield at its best. Which is basically Sutton Park, one of Birmingham’s busiest green spaces. The ducks were queuing up to dive in their special swimming pool. (PLEASE NOTE – These are Canadian geese which should be avoided. Thanks to Richard Coldwell for the info.) It’s a pleasant… Continue reading THE CHAIN JOYS OF SUTTON COLDFIELD
