For anyone who has forgotten, Gypsy Wives is on tonight at 21:00, and it is NOT on Channel Four On Demand.

Arrived at 1943 to find the game off. Exeter staff said Tidsdale and the ref were willing to play but Wilson called it off. Nice pint of St. Austell Tribute in the social club.
A great beer Hitchin, every cloud.... |

Very good, I see it's on sale in Waitrose these days. I rather like The Betty Stoggs myself  |

I'd put Sharp's second after Skinner's.
And I've always wondered why St Austell insist on having sparklers in their pubs. Cornwall is about as far from the north as you can get.

It was around about this time last year I made a Valentine's card using two Skinner's beer pump labels for a Kernow lass  |

What a lovely spot, got the little ferry over from Padstow out of season, then walked around the Camel Estuary to Polzeath. Good golf course there too, St Enodoc I think, with a church in the middle where some famous chap is buried. Great county, great beers |

3 useless facts:- John Betjemen is the one buried - who strangely used to live in Wantage. Sharps have recently been taken over I heard - Doombar is real Doombar no longer Ales of Scilly are great - I have just bought a small boat and called it SCUPPERED after their best bitter - perhaps not the best idea  |

Ah, that's the one: Betjeman. I had a right palava trying to find his grave traipsing over that overgrown golf course. Aborted the mission in the end. Doombar is a lethal sandbank on that Camel Estuary I think, claimed hundreds of lives over the years. Is the beer not being sold any more then Scilly? Nice one with the boat. Sounds ideal  |

I saw a Titanic Ale on sale today by co-incidence, in The Shah of Persia, Poole  |

Wrong thread; the Titantic brewery is in the midlands. |
