Eeek!"<br /><br />Yeh, I don't like to talk about beer any more than I like to talk about going to the loo(!), but it certainly needs mentioning during June that we both had too many poor experiences, whilst great St Helens ale and others prove pubs are just being rubbish. <br /><br />St Ives, Cambs a very underrated beer town IMO.

My pint looked exactly like that a couple of years back.<br /><br />Agree on beer quality. June has been rubbish. But I had great beer in a few places so the heat is a poor excuse.<br /><br />I like that Matthew.retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-27101165501984985112018-07-15T23:13:38.146+01:002018-07-15T23:13:38.146+01:00I'm being ironic mate, the ghost of Lord Nelso...I'm being ironic mate, the ghost of Lord Nelson reads this blog.<br /><br />A good point, certainly no snow, probably hotter on St Helens day than any of the Cambs or Cornwall days.
