Use to have one Dave, but when I started filling my glass just as many times in a night, I thought I might be getting a drinking problem so I reverted back to a pint

Got to agree, I think though, the only thing it doesn't make bearable is bad ale.

Tried on many occasion to do a pub crawl from many places in Acc, Church, Ossy, Clayton. Never managed to complete any of them. I would start at the Globe and Royal at bottom of Scaitcliffe st and got as far as Willows lane, but had to make my way home to Crown st because I was to wrecked to continue.
