I can't recognise my own comments from 5 years ago, so changed is my style.retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-42947319613488642082016-01-21T10:51:43.401+00:002016-01-21T10:51:43.401+00:00I was even looking at a map of every Sam Smith'...I was even looking at a map of every Sam Smith's in country last night, I'm quite a fan and love their fruit beers too, which I normally don't! <br /><br />The other stand out one was near either London or Tower bridge, found by accident but what a gem! <br /><br />Yea, HITW still there but a shadow of the pub that Sean presided over. I think it only got in GBG when it was on it's way down sadly.<br /><br />I noticed that same Cross Hills anomaly but official website says not on Tuesday at all.<br /><br />Spot on with Durrell but there will be other times. Other two have both gone downhill a bit recently from my experience.Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-79598340984233691362016-01-21T10:44:52.782+00:002016-01-21T10:44:52.782+00:00Thanks Tom, trying not be drawn on keeping a menta...Thanks Tom, trying not be drawn on keeping a mental note of 'what is winning what category' cos think it'll spoil the awards a bit. <br /><br />He was not little! <br /><br />Until they fit toilets on all busses, I will continue to dislike them.<br /><br />No, I stand by Craven Cottage if we are talking purely ground. Vicarage Road is admittedly lame but has no shared fans area I am aware of.<br /><br /><br /><br />Si 'BRAPA' Everitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291680772889990384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-3664709305518334172016-01-20T23:03:21.303+00:002016-01-20T23:03:21.303+00:00Potential classic post, only needed a (pub)cat pho...Potential classic post, only needed a (pub)cat photo. e.g.<br /><br />You've jumped on the Sam Smiths bandwagon, name-checking the 3 hottest pubs in the country (according to Pub Curmudgeon and Stonch, and probably me).<br /><br />Great retro reference to the Hole in the Wall (RIP).<br /><br />Subtle dig at the micro beer in the Marcia.<br /><br />creation of opening times confusion in Cross Hills. I should check Naylors. GBG says closed Wed-Sun but gives Tue opening times. When I went it was only Friday !<br /><br />Tom is right about Watford. Fulham seriously damages your liver if you go to the White Horse or Bricklayers, but guess you've done those and just need Durrell ?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-31207646710866040742016-01-20T22:32:44.708+00:002016-01-20T22:32:44.708+00:00The Ebor looks truly magnificent, current leader i...The Ebor looks truly magnificent, current leader in the 2016 BRAPA pub of the year competition perhaps. <br /><br />I'm intrigued by the Marcia, the landlord sounds like an entertaining little chap who I reckon I might like. I enjoyed your barmaids at the bar song, you should have sung it.<br /><br />You're not going to get into bus bashing or bus stop ticking or such now are you? You have enough on your plate with BRAPA. That said, taking an interest is very positive, it shows you are learning. How did you ticket the adventure?<br /><br />The least threatening ground in the League is surely Vicarage Road.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
