Just for clarity if you translate hippocampus to Greek you get, ιππόκαμπος or ippókampos, the bar is correct to drop the 'h'.

Padge Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 The owner of Tap & Barrel in Wigan has sold his brewery but kept the pub. He no longer has Martland ales (his aforementioned brewery) and they now serve six differing casks, In what seems to be a trend, Patsy Slevin who created Prospect Brewery, has sold that and is now just concentrating on her pub Wigan Central.

Wolford6 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 In equestrian circles, a white horse is always called a grey. There's a pub near me that has always had the exterior walls painted white. It's called the White Horse. This week, those walls have been painted grey.

Northern Eel Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Anyone ever been to the Barley Mow in Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire. I was recently in the area and dropped in on the recommendation of a mate. They serve their ale from a keg, at gravity, first by pouring into a jug and then by pouring that into a beer glass. It is great to see such a tradition continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing the Coventry half marathon in april so will find a suitable post race watering hole!! Hope you're well mate Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.
