JimColin is welcome but I find myself worrying about his taste in pubs. All those he dismissed as unimpressive were good, hearty, traditional taverns where one can stand at the bar, munch on really hard pork scratchings, drink to excess, have a fight, be sick, and do all the other things that civilised men do on a night out while the wife prepares the supper.I think he was looking for a concept joint called "Bugsy's" or "Vegas" with strobe lighting, leather armchairs, a 40-square metre TV screen playing MTV without cessation, expresso machines and an extensive range of alcopops. You know what they say Jim, you can take the man out of Chiswick...
