Saw the sign for this in the toilet last Saturday. Nowhere else in the pub. Two others I was talking to hadn't heard anything about it. Therefore I'm sure the pub will be glad of you promoting this, Dave, as they are seemingly incapable of doing so themselves!

think there's a sign on front door... otherwise, it's on farcebook... but yeah, not massively obvious in the pub!

I rarely pay attention to open front doors. And don't do FaceSpace as I'm not an expectant mother or 14 yr old girl. So basically, other than your informative post, it was a darn good job I needed to go potty!

Did you think to ask when it was? Anyway, still no Tartan!

I did see it on Facebook but only after you mentioned it when you went to the looo.

Nothing on Twitter but nothing on their account for ages.

I might pop to the loo tonight and post it onTwitter.

Err...I didn't have to. The poster (A4 mono printout) in the loo told me. My point was the same information was seemingly unavailable elsewhere in the pub. And their demographic is hardly one who can be relied on to use FaceTube. So if I hadn't been to the loo I wouldn't have known anything about it. Till Dave posted...

Isn't that what people usually do on FaceSpot? Or is that still pictures of their lunch?

I'll be there on Friday. The beer list doesn't excite me as much as the last two years though.

It should be " Shakespeares' ". The pub is called Shakespeares (plural).

Keg lines announced now.

But I'm not letting on, you'll have to look on Facebook

Yeah, keg lines look more interesting. Little cask-wise that appeals tbh. Might get there on Saturday.

there's a Steel City, what more do you want?
