    The Chatterton Arms in Bromley probably wins the award in Bromley.

    In Beckenham The Bricklayers Arms, if only for the fact it is a palice boozer. It really is quite nice if you banned the feathered ones from drinking in there.

    My drinking days (such as they were) are behind me now, but I never really used to go out of my way to find pubs that are not very nice even back in the day.

    Somebody keeps knocking down pubs I used to drink in. At first I thought I was being targeted personally, but now I understand this is happening to everybody.

    There's a charm to pubs that are a bit of a ****hole. You won't find me in a gastro pub unless an occasion calls for it.

    I used to hate going in to a Wetherspoons and would prefer paying the extra 50p for a pint. Nowadays when you can have a difference of £1.50 they become appealing.

    The George in Beckenham is really nice, a traditional boozer.

    The Man of Kent in Eltham, long gone, was rough. I remember being in there once when an almighty fight broke out. The landlord literally vaulted over the bar with his baseball bat and laid out one of the perpetrators. It was like the Wild West the tables went over, chairs went everywhere. Happy days.

    The Downham Tavern was my local for many years coming from the humble origins that I do. A real duckers & divers boozer to this very day.

    Personally I love all Wetherspoons and eat in them regularly - who can argue with £1.99 a pint <cheers>

    A couple of years ago I paid £5 for a pint in O'Neil's Beckenham. The pub was mobbed, full of young people who I assume were still living with their parents. At the liberal club Orpington you get an excellent pint for £3. In Hackney you can pay £5 for a pint of pi55 out of a plastic container. My homebrew is about 50p a pint.

    You can just picture Reamer queuing up at 10 in the morning, dressed in his finest stained Slazenger tracksuit outside the Wrexham Wetherspoons.

    The pubs in my village are really really nice. Also, cracking birds in there too (especially on a Friday).

    Did you widen the circle of your friends while you were in there?
