Still awful stuff though.

Which, talking of Lund, whatever happened to RichTiger on CI?

I was only thinking of Rich the other day - I felt sorry for him in the end, you could see his support for the Allams dwindling over the weeks/months, he'd rally a bit but then old man Allam would utter something ridiculous and he'd get knocked down again. His parting post on CI was painful to read really, he'd bought into the old **** and was distraught when reality hit home.

I missed his parting shot? What was it? He was one of those you couldn't resist taking the mick out of anything. Though I think he was a made up persona like Essex Gull.
I am sure he will be about under another name, he had a few changes of name, as he will feel that it is cruel to deprive the world of his thoughts and opinions.

I thought Rich was too humourless not to be genuine? If he was a wum, he was a poor one. His last post was on the lines of ''like a fool I believed it all and slowly I've seen the light'' I felt his pain ...





















and then thought ....... worra ****in' ****er!

Whereabouts are you?Go to the Cotswolds, Bourton On The Water, I would live there if I ever came into a bit of money and could afford a house there, for a few days every year. Always expect to pay a lot for beer given the area's well off residents, price of houses etc but surprised at the reasonableness of a pint,even in places where the food is expensive compared to here. Though even in Bourton my favourite pubs prices for food was similar to round here and the beer wasn't much different, in fact the wife's lime and soda when she didn't want a lager was less than some pubs near me.

Aye there are decent lagers, but the point I was making is there could be a Sam Smiths smacking these people in the face and they'd still pay more for a Carling or a Fosters.

Sam Smiths Pure Brewed Lager is one of the best lagers ever...anywhere

Carling was first made to a traditional recipe from Lund, where Thomas Carling, the founder of the brewery lived before moving to Canada.

When he got to Canada, the practice was that everyone around helped you build your homestead, and you rewarded them with food and drink at the housewarming. Tom made beer to the traditional East Yorkshire recipe, and it was so popular, the business developed.

Sounds like Gassy Jack.

Stayed at The Porch House in Stow a couple of years ago. Great food and beers.

Amazing how many pubs, restaurants and cafes are in Bourton considering it's population is less than 4,000.

I always thought the same when I worked in Esher. On top of that it had its own ski slope, cinema and horse track.

Just as well seeing that after looking at the stream, the bird sanctuary and yes the museum, there is not much else, on a rainy day there is even less to look at, been there a few times, summer and winter, pretty it is, maybe looks even better from inside of a pub.

Tend to go for days out, lots to see within an hour of Bourton. Having difficulty walking any distance having 3 decent pubs, 3 very good restaurants, half a dozen cafes and a bakery within 100 yards of the cottage I hired last year and more if I get my mobility scooter out is enough for this decrepit pensioner. Would rather spend a week there than in Brid or Hull.<laugh>
