I’m a great supporter of my local pub, but even I can see that it could be improved slightly. Essentially I go there for a pint of London Pride, because that’s what a pub is for, but while I’m there I might have a game of darts or talk to Max the Soothsayer and learn which of the functions on his new Renault he has divined over the past week. It’s all very agreeable but not especially constructive.
