Ended up staying for 3 pints and chatting to a few of the locals.

Just a peculiar coincidence I reckon.

I've always been a bit disinclined to take a look, though, because of the "what's he doing here?" factor. It's not a pub that any casual customer would just chance on. Do you think that maybe the whistling of "Scotland the Brave" was an oblique comment on your presence? <br /><br />Something I find intriguing is the very limited selection of draught beers in many of the Sam's pubs you visit. All the ones I've been to over the past couple of years have a pretty wide range, although maybe they tend to be more high-profile than backstreet pubs in Rochdale.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
