The Pub Man

I’ve been pondering whether to write something on the death of the Pub Curmudgeon, whose column in the Stockport CAMRA magazine and long running blog was always a must read.

I don’t often blog but I wanted to tell the story of a pub crawl I didn’t go on.

During the Covid pandemic the hospitality industry was subject to a series of idiotic nonsensical restrictions that at the time the majority of politicians, journalists, commentators and the public vigorously supported.

Eating a free Big Mac I “won” on the McDonalds app has prompted this download of thoughts.

By far the largest part of Schumachers book is in regard to the third world and this section really hasn’t aged well at all.

In the second and third parts of book, Schumacher tackles resources & the third word.

This was meant to be the post.

Don’t worry 70s economics fans, a deep dive into Schumacher is coming but before then a wander around what once was an iconic pub crawl of these parts and what it means to me personally.

What?

Every so often a short video of a British pub goes what is known as “viral” on the internet.

This blog had intended to be regular thing.

For the #Pubman, pubs matter.

It’s all about the pubs.
