I like the way this is developing into a beer and food thread.
I might just be tempted to post a ‘whats you favorite beer’ poll on the open forum.

And I thought it was me that had been to the pub !!.

Manonthefence-
You know I think thats the only pub in Sutton that I never been into, or at least I can’t remember it. I have been in the Plough many times, the Swan quite a bit a few years back and the Fish to eat, but can’t remember the G & D. It looks nice and oldy worldy from the outside, perhaps I’l pop in one day.
So you live in the big mansion opposite – wow!!!.

Saturday afternoon my greenhouse thermometer went off its scale and thats 50C!, I moved it out side in the shade and it settled at 36/37 C, pretty hot, mind you it was still reading 30C at midnight and 24C at 4am, unless my eyes were deceiving me, and that was quite possible that night/morning.:)

Brakespears brewery no longer exists although their beer does, brewed by some euromixer somewhere and tastes like crap (some might say it always did). My local is a Brakespears pub and the only thing I find worth drinking with their name on is the ‘live organic’, bottled and about 5. something %. Nice beer but gives you (does me anyway!!) cronic wind.
Talking of beer, one of my favourites, not because of its name, is Shepherd and Neames Spitfire , I always stock it at home (Sainsbury’s and Waitrose have cases of 12 pints on offer at £13 at the moment-excellent value) and yesterday coming back from family day out in Dorset I happened across a pub near Boscome Down(the Crown) that sold draught Spitfire, cooled just enough not to ruin the taste but brilliant for quenching the thirst on a stinking hot day, the food was excellent too, so 10/10 to the Crown. Whats more my wife saw how much I was enjoying the beer that she offered to drive the rest of the journey, excellent day out.

Nice Thread Blue Robin, whilst not a flier (not for the want of trying) its one of those places I have always fancied a look at. I have friends that have flown from / to there and say what a nice place it is.One of these friends covered photographically the recent en-mass Tiger flight from there and said that the folks were really accommodating.
I’m not adverse to a bit of oldish GA so I could see me having a good day there.
Incidentally, looking at the picture with the Miles in the background I was wondering just how many aircraft from that fine stable still exist in the UK and do they have a gathering at some time. I think Miles manufactured some of the prettiest and most photogenic aircraft of all.
