That being said, I have always been leery of the rows of mugs by any other name up there due to the likelihood they are coated with gak. I want to bring in my own drinking vessel with me.

Had the old boys with their tankards hanging up been going into the same pub almost exclusively for the last 20 or 30 years?

I’ve just moved to my fourth town, I’m in my thirties, I don’t think that’s particularly unusual in this day and age. I’ve found a nice pub in South West London I’d be happy to spend a lot of time in but there is always the temptation to go to Cask, Euston Tap, Craft Beer Co etc.

I guess what I’m rambling about is that, will there be those sort of local establishments when I’m in my sixties or seventies for me to even have a tankard in or will life be just one big pub crawl/beer festival from now on?
