    So when Labour are consigned to the great wheelie bin of history will it start to become a really nice place again?

        Unlikely in the near term. Maybe, if membership of, or collaboration with, nuLieBore is made a capital offence then in two or three generations there might be a chance.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                If you don't want this to happen, support your local free house.

                That said, there's still regional variation in the chain pubs. Not many down south sell Tetley. Not many in the south west sell Courage (thank god).

                  True it helps to be an actual rather a wannabe, Walter Mitty millionaire to live in London.
                  Looks like you'll have to remain in Swindon.

                    I've happy gazing at the Magic Roundabout whilst strolling up to the dizzying heights of the Old Town.

                      I miss good quality fish and chips, the Times Crossword, good ale, customer service, blue stilton cheese.
