I'm up for 'outing' Bensonby.

How about the Golden Lion or the Woodman.......?

I think so - might be worth reminding people again a week or so in advance. I don't know if ALIB and Bensonby have yet arranged a separate meet-up for just the two of them?

I keep having to up the medication. I've been away for a bit.

I'll try and keep this thread active so it will stay fresh in peoples minds.
I also forgot Foxes in my list of pubs. So, if we make it to the finish, that makes a total of eight(ish)

And no, Bensonby and I have not arranged a separate drink yet. I am still pondering whether I would feel comfortable/safe in the precence of someone who felt compelled to remind the bar staff of 'weights and measures' legal obligations and other associated legislation surrounding the licencing trade. :shock:

Defo still the 11th October. Start in the Golden Lion. A 7pm start would seem about right, but seeing as we have (potentially) 8 pubs to visit, we need to be aware that 'slouch drinkers' will be discouraged.


Bensonby can PM me to arrange a schniffter. (also Golden Lion). My life is my own at the moment, so perhaps Bensonby can suggest a few times/dates.

I was staggering up the hill quite late (just after 11) after having quite a few after work jars so it might have been me, but my memory of it is a bit hazy.

I normally try and behave when I'm out.

I've been away on holiday for the past week, but I'm willing to meetup for a midweek drink with anyone that is interested.
