Beer?

[MossCommuter]

I used to drink there a fair bit. Lovely interior, but the beer was disappointing. Has it improved?

Which one?

Salisbury is chainy and full of amateur drinkers. Nice enough but knee deep in empties and kiddies discarded chips.

Lamb and Flag keeps a very good cellar and even at its rammedest, busiest service is great.

Salisbury. Hence the bold. I'm sorry you had to put up with amateur drinkers!

Sorry, the bold bypassed my Saga eyes .

It's like theme park pub with reasonable beer .

I have been quite often so it's not all bad and handy for the premier inn

Very convenient for the Coliseum too. I must try it next time I'm off to the opera.

And kinky boots just around the corner

Post wedding, pre fettling beer, as modelled by @rvw. I decided I deserved it, having noodled around for 20 minutes at the start of the service waiting for the bride and then played them out with Mendelssohn morphing into the Star Wars theme tune.

This was Father Squirrel, a spicy Belgian-style brown ale. I then had a pint of 1516, an extremely authentic Rheinheitsgebot compliant Weissbier (even if the brewers, bless'em, can't spell German), and one that is much better than any Weissbier I've had in the last few years in Munich. It is apparently brewed in Germany.

These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. A very long way away from any jukebox musical.

Have you ever been asked for Love Divine to the Match of the Day theme tune?

Have you ever been asked for Love Divine to the Match of the Day theme tune?

Not yet. Perhaps fortunately the only churches I've played at regularly have not been picturesque enough to be inundated with weddings.

I'm now trying to work out how on earth you can fit Love Divine (metre 8787) to the Match of the Day theme (9696).

My old dad's an organ grinder.

He was asked for it.

Before he'd finished explaining to to poor hapless groom that "that's not how it works", the lad had started to sing it. And it kinda did

Quenching your thirst with an appropriately named pint after your research into the area - including the shop opposite?

I now have many, many Green Gecko ready for the rugby. Apparently 11am on Sunday is the time to go to Lidl

I did notice the shop though the internet renders mucky DVD shops nugatory, apparently.

This beer shares the name of the pub, a compulsory stop on the way back north:

A break from the new norm. And the party begins to kick into gear
