Back at Stevenage at 10pm*, and Mrs RM’s request for some munchies (do adults say “munchies” ?) from Tesco meant I could justify nipping in to the Old Town for a last pint of Saturday night. I consulted the GBG app; the Guide entries are the red markers. Oh. Never mind, Mrs RM had told… Continue reading IN SEARCH OF STEVENAGE’S “PROPER PUB”. AND GREENE KING MILD.

A PITCHER OF PORNSTAR MARTINI TO FINISH A PERFECT NIGHT IN STEVENAGE
It was only 19:15 when we left Stevenage’s top Thai restaurant, and Mrs RM wasn’t going home to a tired Premier Inn with attached Beefeater yet. Not when there’s a classic Home Counties Spoons to visit to do a comparison of Cosmopolitans.

SQUID GAINS IN SG1
Congratulations to Mrs RM on successfully escorting BRAPA to South Yorkshire completion yesterday, a day when the #PrayForBRAPA and #PrayForMrsRM hashtags were competing thru’ the day.

But enough of that, for now. We walked the mile from the Beefeater into the Old Town, the first Stevenage tourists since it… Continue reading VIVA LA STEVENAGE
STEVENAGE’S RICH & FAMOUS
More exciting UK towns to tempt you out of Lockdown in 2022, and another chance for me to recycle old rubbish with impunity. Reader Huish Hugh asked for more salt-of-the-earth football (anything below City, I guess), so where better than Yeovil Stevenage, if only because I’ve been bullied into clearing out the garage and this… Continue reading STEVENAGE’S RICH & FAMOUS
A CLASSIC STEVENAGE ESTATE PUB
I finally picked up a copy of Boak & Bailey’s 20th Century Pub in Heffers Cambridge on Sunday, displayed alongside another classic publication (which I can’t write about until the 14th). I’m a slow reader, so you may have to wait for anything approaching a review (see here and here for those). Already it’s… Continue reading A CLASSIC STEVENAGE ESTATE PUB
