Evening until close. Always a good news source for Thanet Micropub developments. Another contributor to this site, Dosser, had apparently just left.

Early evening visit, I took the opportunity to pick up some current London bus maps from the leaflet container, it is so much easier to get them here than try to find them in London. I had a good discussion with Colin about various beer matters.
