This thread does make me chuckle. What I am about to say is not meant as a criticism, just an observation followed by a suggestion. Regular members will be aware that on occasion we have a habit of going round in circles - in effect the forum is so successful in pooling information and grown so large, we can't find information easily from earlier posts and threads. I suspect a volunteer or volunteers needs to step forward to weed out some of the 'chaff' so that we can more easily find the wheat. It would also be great - especially for new members - if there were a few basic facts pages of the 'story so far' sort of thing.
Meanwhile I'll carry on searching for the last time we chatted about the famous ideal pub immortalised by the article in the London Evening Standard I think, and that formed the basis for Humphrey's memo!
