Lunchtime cycle meet. We sat in the garden and agreed about sport but argued about geopolitics. Good session. Ales now at £5 a pint.

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Another old favourite that I haven’t seen on pump for a while. This was near the end of the barrel but in fine form. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Spot on this regular here. Would have given it another star if I hadn’t had to ask for it to be topped up (it was, grudgingly). |

Mid afternoon a few locals in. Calm friendly welcoming atmosphere. RWC enjoyed his Harvey's that much he had another.
