It's the one next to my office
in swinging North Finchley. By Christ it's dull round here. Actually more accurately round here, 'by Yahweh'....

Damn it.
I'm in the wrong end of London. Just as well I was able to take advantage of what my local proudly calls "beer club" last night.

Sounds like you just broke the first rule of Beer Club.
Where are you based, then?

Well, I "work" in South Ken
but I recently moved down to Wombledon. There's a cracking Hop Back pub down the road and round a corner or two from Collier's Wood. We got there last Wednesday and came away from the bar thinking "that was a cheap round," then passed a tiny little blackboard in one corner that proudly announced "Beer Club: Wednesday 6-9pm all real ales only £2.20"

(Yes, all you northern types on here may scoff, but that's a positively utopian price for a pint of beer within the M25.)

that's a great price fo' sho'
Maybe we should meet up sometime? Or would that much flappy hair in one place cause a rift in the space/time continuum?

I don't think my local would ever have seen so much flappy hair in one place
That is, if you can stomach the journey down t'other end of t'northern line - you can guess where I'll be most Wednesdays. I do know some good boozers more centrally though.

Well I'm on the Northern Line every night
Normally I get off at Old St but I could stay on the train....

Old Street?
So are you familiar with the Wenlock Arms?

The Wetherspoon down my round does most of it's real ales for about £1.50
and I live in north london.

wetherspoons are all absurdly cheap
and it makes me wonder why we don't all drink in them, all of the time

sure the atmosphere or whatever might not be so good, but it's £2 cheaper per pint than everywhere else
