Last knockings visit until close. Who knows what beers were on or off with pumpclips at half cock and pump handles pulled full back and left there.

Last knocking visit until close. Usual Monday night nonsense of touting plastic glasses round to urge get out soon, and as usual refused it.

Last knockings visit until close. "Sorry no real ales tonight. We have run out and there will be none on until tomorrow". YET all pumpclips still displayed, not removed or turned round. Monday Club priced Draught Guinness was the distress purchase. Then hassle from a floor walker trying untimely early eviction for everyone, justified by "staff want to get home".

Last knockings visit until close. Strange habit of pulling back pump handles towards staff (and leaving them in that position) to denote ales not available. Limited range tonight indeed.

Last knockings visit until close. I don't drink from plastic so a reference to the manager when it was the only option offered resulted in a glass being filled.

| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Apparently new cask put on earlier. Could not have been pulled through when attached as first pint pulled full murk, second half murk, third clear and drinkable and good |

Last knockings visit until close. Very limited ale range - lots of pump handles tilted backed back to staff side, as some sort of sign understood by few.

| Banks's - Young Henrys Real Ale | 4.00 | | Once again not a patch on the first one I had at festival start elsewhere that had set a high bar |
