It seems rebellious to vote conservative now

Things from the internet:

1. A government e-petition to "Make wrongly describing a casserole with a pastry lid as a pie a criminal offence." (Thanks to Will for the tip-off.)

I'm torn; clearly this is a cause after my own heart, but I feel slightly bad about wasting Government time. On the other hand, as onebyone pointed out, the "review" stage has

I could probably get myself to the Jerusalem Tavern (though possibly not in the next couple of weeks)

Well, if I make it in the next couple of weeks I'll report back. If it's great, we can go again, if it's rubbish, I've saved you a wasted journey :-)

Haven't been there in the last few years so it could have changed, but last time, plus side was St Peters beers, downside was v crowded (but it's a pub within reach of the City, so like the rest of them, exists in two modes - very crowded, or dead to the world ;)

(Oh, I can call at least four - Eagle & Child, Jerusalem.Tavern, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, and the Butcher's Arms. Of course, I did/do live down the road from the first & last of those :)

I think I've done three - Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, The Eagle and Child and, I have a vague memory of, The Jerusalem Tavern.

OOO i shall have to check out the pub list as i am a great beer loving geek.

Hey, all beer-loving geeks are great! The world needs more of us.

American people seem to think a pizza is a pie. That should be an offence, possibly a capital one.
Also, when I went to the Eagle and Child not so long ago,it proved to be disappointingly crap.

Yes, I was never actually a huge fan of the E&C. Then again, it's a Youngs house and I don't like Youngs beer all that much. I suspect it makes the list for literary associations rather than pub excellence.

T'other half makes a Chicago-style pizza sometimes, which is pretty much worthy of being called a pie.

The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell, is unknown to me and pretty convenient for a post-work drink, though, if anyone fancies joining me.

Maybe. Not least to check whether I've been there before!
