Reply to: Civil Rebellion - Where are you, Doncaster?

Back in 2000, I enjoyed the 'spoons at Liverpool St Station. They had a rolling range of 50 beers from all over Britain. I recall Black Widow was my favourite - a bit like Guiness, but no head.

Is that Hamilton's?

Edit: just checked and yes, the one and the same. Been in there myself in a past life, waiting for my last train from Liverpool Street. Not my favourite pub in the area, though it does a job.

I know the one, spent many an evening there in in my City days. Would have been around the same time too. It wasn't a typical 'spoons though. Dunno if that idiot had bought it then.

Used to drink in a couple every now and then when we lived in London (The Knights Templar down Chancery Lane, and the Crosse Keys opposite Leadenhall market)

Forget 'Spoons, this is a proper Doncaster pub: https://twitter.com/Leonnoble82/stat...08441251618817

I'm fairly sure it was filmed during a CUK meet-up.

I spotted Vetran doing the marching dance .... and Spuddy with the stick looking rather confused. Not impressed by NLYUK's dance at the start.

the Counting House, on Cornhill is a particularly spectacular Fullers pub that's worth a visit if you're in the area. Beautiful building with warm flat beer, just like yer pukka mockneys prefer.

Is that the big pub with the round bar in the middle, and marble everywhere? Went to someone's leaving do there, it's not really a 'telly' sort of place. If there's any sport worth watching I'd head to the Pavilion End, round the back of St Pauls. It's a Fullers, so the beer is drinkable, if you're into the warm stuff...

Yes, that's the one. Toilets down in the basement. We'd watch the footie over the road in the New Moon. When City pubs used to close by 9 in the week the Cross Keys was one of the few pubs that would still be open.

I do enjoy the warm stuff, so a Fullers or Youngs pub would be on my radar - the Counting House, on Cornhill is a particularly spectacular Fullers pub that's worth a visit if you're in the area. Beautiful building with good beer.

We don't have a 'spoonies in our village

You were obviously paying too much attention to the breakfast special menu to notice. It's been a long time since I was in one (it was near a station and the trains were fooked), but they did have Sky News on. You can add that to your vast array of knowledge of the aforementioned pub chain. You'll be able to write the definitive guide soon.

Do 'spoonies have tv screens?

We bow to your expertise on such matters, but if they were all in the pub it was probably to watch the Rugby WCF.

10 o'clock? Do the organisers not realise Saturday morning is breakfast special day down the local 'spoonies?

Too cold and wet. That's why an election in December is a good idea.
