I'm definitely aligning with the trend discussed in this Morning Advertiser article- I much prefer a pub visit in the afternoon/ early evening - not sure if that's just a reflection of my age though! #pub www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2025...

It may be spring now but a pint by the fire in The Grapes, Slingsby was very welcome this afternoon! 🔥 🍺 #pub

Love this from @bathedailey.bsky.social and @pelliclemag.com - my favourite is def the dog one! And I prefer real rather than paintings of dogs in pubs! #pub www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/2/...

Third stop - Moon Under Water (Wetherspoons) - I never normally go to Wetherspoons as they don’t allow dogs! Service was terrible, other customers didn’t seem to understand bar queuing and half the beers were not available (but no indication on the bar)! Not sure I’ll be back!

Second stop is the @cityarmsmcr - really enjoyed this pub- two great rooms with different atmospheres (back room perhaps a little bright for me personally but always have the option) - friendly, great beers - will certainly return! #pub

I have been very slack on pub visits the last month - so trying to make up for it today with (hopefully) a few visits! First stop the lovely Britons Protection - got to love a ladies toilet swing door! #pub

theconversation.com/kim-jong-un-... When North Korean officials go on a drinking spree and get called a “rotten group” (ssŏgŏppajin muri) and an “arrogant rabble” (pangjahan ohapchijol)! Interesting article on North Korean drinking! #drinking

Father in Law left this for me from Tuesday’s @Telegraph - best pub in the UK declared as The Standing Order, Edinburgh - based on @Google reviews - Article suggests that even those drinking there don’t think it’s even the best pub/spoons in Edinburgh! #pub

Catching up on the Lidl pub news! I can’t say it bothers me as much as it does William Sitwell - I can’t see these ever being proper pubs, just uninspired bars for partners/friends who don’t want to shop - they’re not going to be go to choices on a Friday evening! #notapub

Today in The Morning Advertiser re the Mirror 'Save the Pub' campaign- "If Keir Starmer really wants to save the sector, it's well within his gift to resolve a number of issues we face...put your money where your mouth is and follow through." www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2025...

Went to the library to pick up one book but after browsing the brewing and beer section I ended up with three! Also one with a dedication to the ‘beer-drinking Briton’! #beer #books

An interesting opinion read in the Morning Advertiser showing how some pubcos don't know the meaning of partnership and experiences are "traumatic, stressful and difficult". WHow do we save pubs if the people running our pubs are being treated so badly! www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2025...
