Life has slowed to a crawl here. I’ll be constructing a blogpost about Mrs RM’s dentistry next, and last night I “saved up” my days highlight – taking the green bin out. Life moves faster in my mystery pub; Public urination ? Has BRAPA been here ? Well yes, I drove him to the town*,… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB BEARS ALL

GUESS THE PUB SAYS “THE PRIDE IS DRINKING WELL”
This morning you get a “Guess the Pub” by request. An interesting concept, you’d think, giving the requestor a mild advantage. But he (or she, sexist) is sworn to secrecy on pain of excommunication from retiredmartin.com. It might be a doddle, as this pub is world famous as the boozer featured in Series 2 of… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB SAYS “THE PRIDE IS DRINKING WELL”
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO BAVARIA
Greetings from the nerve centre of retiredmartin, the only space in the house I’m allowed while Mrs RM arranges sofas, carpets, lino and probably other things I wouldn’t understand. Don’t faint, but I’ve just been to A NEW PUB ! It might even make WhatPub, if not GBG22*. Details to follow. Thanks to Sheffield Hatter… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO BAVARIA
GUESS THE PUB GOES ALL BBB
It’s what made this country great. Boring Brown Bitters, boiled eggs, and little lit up alleys housing bikes and boozers, stuck amid quaint independent stores called VANS, North Face, Joe & The Juice and Fitness World. Oh, and pubs with a Cask Marque, the absolute guarantee of a Perfect Pint (it says here). I don’t… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES ALL BBB
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO THE SMOKE
Only 5 weeks, folks, and you’ll be able to at least peer into pubs while being escorted to your sodden seat in a wine garden. DO NOT attempt to take pictures on the way to the inside loo or you’ll be prosecuted. A rather picturesque mystery pub from England’s second city today, and a chance… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO THE SMOKE
GUESS THE ESTATE PUB
Today’s much-anticipated Guess the Pub comes from a table-topping town where you’ll see a lot of this; Two Wetherspoons, one of them a hotel so you can bideawhile amidst its many charms. If you’re bored of stylish clocks (and an award-winning) skate park, just up the road is this haunted church, visited nightly by the… Continue reading GUESS THE ESTATE PUB
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO THE SEASIDE
Yes, I thought I’d make it easy for you by picking a pub which serves Doom Bar to narrow it down. I can also reveal that our mystery pub ISN’T in Mudgie’s Final Four Towns. That’s a very upmarket selection, isn’t it ? Where’s Cleethorpes, or Canvey Island, or Crosby ? Never mind, it was… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO THE SEASIDE
GUESS THE PUB GOES TO THE TAVERN
After your disastrous performance in identifying pubs across the pond, let’s stay closer to home with a classic unspoilt tavern out west. Typically one ale on of late; you’ll probably have seen their 5% amber flagship on the side of lorries on our motorways recently. Proud of its Welsh roots (the Landlord is from Merthyr),… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES TO THE TAVERN
GUESS THE PUB CROSSES THE POND
Ah, but which pond ? “The Pond” by Lowry ? Well, no, that’s Stockport. This should give it away; Only a Yank would eat bread like that, surely ? I’m a bit tired of you lot using “Reverse Image” technology to identify these pubs, so the map extracts get tougher now. This pub is in… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB CROSSES THE POND
GUESS THE PUB GOES ON HOLIDAY
Nice easy one for you this morning. Surely EVERYONE know ******** in ********* ? Actually, I’ve never been here, so it must have opened after my last visit in 2016 when I overdosed on whisky (of a sort). It’s not in the CAMRA Beer Guide to this place anyway, and possibly wouldn’t get in the… Continue reading GUESS THE PUB GOES ON HOLIDAY
