Grab yer coat girl,you've pulled

You might change your mind - I have just found out that I am not a cheap date.

Although anyone south and east of Watford will not be remotely appalled at this, I have just been to one of our local pubs (frequented about once a month) and have paid just short of FOUR POUNDS for a pint of bitter. Not lager, bitter. Not a fancy 'limited edition' or somesuch, but a bog standard pint of Purity UBU.

To put this into context, at the Weatherspoon's their standard guest beer cost is £2.69 per pint.

To be fair to the Miller and Carter staff, they agreed that I was right to be appalled - they were appalled on my behalf. The prices didn't encourage normal people, just those who - and I quote - are 'up themselves'.

A friend who came in for last orders was equally appalled. We may have to strike this one off our roster of Wednesday night hostelries.

I am appalled.

Blimey Hazel, any pint under a fiver down here is considered cheap.

Having said that, the Youngs Ordinary in the Essex Yeoman tonight was only £3.23

Good Morning All

Another pleasant start to the day with blue skies and a gentle breeze. Got to face the underground today and never an exciting prospect when the weather is warm. My weekend starts tomorrow so at least I have that to look forward to.

hope you all have a really good day

Lovely start to the day here in w London. Got the family coming over for dinner today. As is traditional, it is roast lamb because we are picking our first runner beans today. This is a red letter day and the only one where I share my precious crop. Mind you, I do find the kids wangling invites a little more in the summer. From the garden, potatoes, peas (in freezer), carrots and runner beans. Got to tidy up a bit first though .........
