OK...lets have another go...there's 2 pubs along Blackburn Road, the Globe and the one on the corner opposite whose name I can't remember but it does'nt matter because I can never remember which one is which. Anyway, it's the entrance to one of them.

The one yer tawkin abaht is the George (or was). Can't be that one though as the door leads straight into the bar. Must be the Globe then!

Re: Vitreous vivacity!

Well for all us exiles this is getting very interesting, imagine a pub not being found by Accy Webbers, is this the end of the world as we know it? are there dark forces at work stopping our intrepid band from reaching there goal? Who will lead us to this holy grail? we need someone with a bottomless pit to sample the fares at different hostelries and a steadying influence to take notes, do we know anyone like that, could someone be nominated, or should we just admit defeat? Never I hear you cry........ we will do it, but who?

Re: Vitreous vivacity!

If all you guys joined together and put in, say, twenty quid each, Bazf and I could fly over and find this for you. You are obviously not able to do this without the help of the expats. We could also sample the wares of each hostelry as we progress around the town and start a thread giving points for each pub. In this way, we could help you all to avoid going into places which are not worth the bother. Someone has to come over and help you lot out. Are we up for this Bazf?
