Oh this is just great 🤬 Parking on the pavement is an utter nuisance for pedestrians and just so thoughtless. This country is falling apart.

100% 👌

Anyone who has worked with sheep will say exactly the same.

I have a plea - does anyone know of any pubs in London that reliably sell any Midlands bitter / golden ale? I've been left with a terrible cask craving after my visit to Hereford. Looking for something with good body, not too "thin", bit of malt sweetness...

Where are you getting dumplings from? They're Janine's favourite!

The Burton Union - YouTube A three-part mini-documentary on the Burton Union set at Thornbridge Brewery in Bakewell, Derbyshire. Shot, edited and produced by Matthew Curtis.

This is a nice read, while the European football teams are eating their half-time oranges 🍊

I've sent him all this info Fin, thank you 😊

Thanks Craig 🫡

Thank you!

Thanks Otto ☺️

My esteemed colleague Ben is off to Munich next weekend. Has anyone got an up-to-date beer hall/pub guide for the place? I haven't been for about 10 years. 🇩🇪
