DINING IN THE ‘DALE

DINING IN THE ‘DALE

November 19, 2018November 20, 2018 14 Comments

  I was going to skip the next post and get on to the St Albans crawl, but frankly that may be a longer read than the EU Withdrawal “Deal” so here’s a quick one from the new capital of cask.  I know some of you can’t sleep for the worry that I may have… Continue reading DINING IN THE ‘DALE

WELCOME TO RAWTENSTALL

  We’re off to Cranborne Chase tomorrow for our annual non-Guardian reader music festival.  Four hours, heavy traffic, avoid the Novichok, says Google Maps. Who knows what the WiFi will be like this year?  You may be lucky to get more than a picture of Mrs RM in a field with a peacock and a… Continue reading WELCOME TO RAWTENSTALL

My only comment is that you can’t possibly drink a pint of Bass wearing that outfit. The debate (what is there to debate ?) brought to mind my… Continue reading HARTSHEAD – PUB OR KENNEL ?

WAITING IN WORSLEY

WAITING IN WORSLEY

January 27, 2018January 30, 2018 21 Comments

I’ve been asked to date these reports, which makes sense.  This was last weekend 19-20 Jan).  I’m still a week behind with posts, but catching up slowly. More of Salford, technically, though Worsley is a bit of a posh anomaly on the edge of that great City. Beer Guide entries over recent years have included… Continue reading WAITING IN WORSLEY
