More recently I have started going north of the river to Chiswick and quite like the small locals in Sheen - a very underrated area IMHO.
    Is the Bull's Head - which is the one with the live jazz in the back room, situated on the river by the small mini roundabout?

    The Sun Inn was the place to be when I drank in Barnes.

    Sheen is nice, Mrs Jog was born and bred there, we go there quite a lot.

    • No spaces for the first three items, but spaces thereafter;
    • No spaces for the first three, then spaces for the three after that, then no spaces for the next three, ad infinitum, ad nauseam;
    • No spaces for the first 50% of items in the list, rounding down in the case of a list having an odd number of items;
    • No spaces for the first 50% of items in the list, rounding up in the case of a list having an odd number of items;
    • No spaces according to alternating values in the Fibonacci sequence (starting with the fourth value therein) meaning three no-spaces, five spaces, eight no-spaces, thirteen spaces...
    • A random sequence of spaces and no spaces, which just happened to have an initial value which on this occasion was equal to 50% of the total number of items in the list, thereby creating the illusion of purpose;
    • Another strategy that I haven't been able to discern the manifestation of.


    (I also learned that he doesn't use the list input capability of the forum software, but I'm not sure if this is due to his being unaware of it, disliking its admittedly poor user interface, or just being contrary. Or, once again, some reason that I cannot discern.)

    I think that's a good idea.

    A kind of Epilogue.
