Good one!Originally posted by darmstadt View PostClearing some stuff out at the weekend I actually found a relic of that visit, a CAMRA tie, polyester as well. You would have thought that being real ale followers they would have used a natural substance

When we visited Brum CAMRA was still in its early days and gassy chemical beers still prevailed in many places.

Birmingham city centre is probably no worse than most cities, is Leeds or Manchester any better?

Every time I visit Edinburgh (which is nowhere near often enough), I'm impressed with how nice it is.Originally posted by minestrone View PostWhen I go down to London, maybe twice a year, London does look good. I like London.
Nothing on Edinburgh it has to be said, that place is truly the Athens of the North.
