    the barleycorn is still the tulipshole it always has been

    by far my favourite pub is the woodstock, i quite like the new look after the refurb and at last they seem to have improved the service time from 3years to something more bearable, in fact im off there in 45 mins

    Git

    Agreed the service does seem quicker, but then it never seems to be as packed out as it used to be

    Or that little place next to the wine shop the other way.

    Now you've got me on the subject, Globe Burrittos. mmmmm

    Agree with the Met tossers bit. Bar staff in One Lounge were always a good laugh.

    (The Nose was great for a saturday/sunday morning breakfast, smoked salmon or bacon and scrambled eggs on toast yum yum)

    Favourite West Didsbury pub was always The Woodstock, although recent refurbishments have taken away some of the character it used to have.

    Least favourite was the Barleycorn, with the "only gay in the village" barman who would constantly play U2 on the juke box

    Still never been in M20 - maybe Chef can tell us what its like

    Ever drink in the Met or One Lounge? Assuming they're still there.

    I bet he wished he'd not argued the toss over with the cabbie over the change from the tenner.

    and what's wrong with Didsbury?

    if it's good enough for John Thompson then it's good enough for most
