Nearly three (3) months ago we were finally reacquainted with a portion of the Southworth clan as Joan and Dave made their first UK trio for three (3) years. No idea what held them up. Worryingly, they seemed to have gone all hipster and craft since 2019. So when we finally met up in Eastbourne,… Continue reading BLESSED BE THE LAMB

A SENTIMENTAL BOLLOCK OF DE KONINCK
Feels like I’m picking on the Southworths as soon as they land back in the States, but I guess that’s what they read the blog for. Only one and a half more pubs in Leek on Thursday, and the pace was telling on our Pub Heroes as I caught up with them after checking in… Continue reading A SENTIMENTAL BOLLOCK OF DE KONINCK
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a Dove
Today’s cover stars are Barb and Richard from Chicago, where pizza was invented in 1492 and it’s even scarier than on “The Wire”.

There’s a few posts from the Marches and the Dales to come, but this is a report from Deal, where Mrs RM and I met the lovely and endlessly fascinating Mrs &… Continue reading THE SHIP SPOILT FOR A HA’PENNY OF BEER
MIXING PUBS AND POLITICS IN STOCKPORT
And so after “HandbagGate“, we come to the great Dick & Dave meet-up. An early start for Stockport that seemed pointless as I flew up a deserted M6 for the first time all year. I assume I haven’t accidentally brought my 90mph driving speeds from Germany home with me. Parked in the Premier Inn (home of rubbish Wi-Fi) by 11.30,… Continue reading MIXING PUBS AND POLITICS IN STOCKPORT
