Did you have the same problem? <br /><br />Yes, gonna drop "Beersplaining" in quite a bit I think.<br /><br />Very impressed with Star, certainly pub of hols, and yes I think all the good ones built by the same architect, Mr Trengilly-Zennor-Carloggan or something.

Wish the Good Beer Guide descriptions included a line "No of previous appearances' and 'last time in'. <br /><br />Haha, I use a different Emergency BM for each trip. As inappropriate as I can find for the area I am in! <br /><br />Yes, I once worked a summer at Sainsbury's and even with my bright wardrobe, I couldn't quite abide the oversized orange and blue stripey uniform.

Indeed. Goo..."Karma mate, Kernow Karma."<br /><br />Indeed. Good thing he didn't break down before getting to the pub!<br /><br />"Yes of course, hang on oh no, but NOT American Express"<br /><br />My wife's business doesn't take that card either.
