First time I've risked a Friday evening in here for a while. ChrisE may be pleased to hear that the Friday night DJ thing has been dropped.

I was in here one hour and 29 minutes after touch down at Stansted Airport, which I think is a new personal best.

Evening visit for a pint whilst waiting for a train home, the noise from a music system was so loud that I wished that I had waited on the platform instead. At least the beer was good. There was also a Cardomom and Berry Milk Stout on offer but I forgot to note the brewer and ABV.
