Highly read too (Marc H is a touch on the tall side).

It provided a moderate amount of amusement for the group on a site visit to Earls Court. (Don't forget folks the Great British Beer Festival isn't at Olympia next year)

As I recall the comment was "It has the usual Telegraph bollocks about beards etc but the rest is pretty good."

Quite. There is also the amusement value to be derived watching a reporter spend twice as long getting a story because they are desperately trying to line up the photographic evidence for their distorted storyline. After all it can be very difficult to find a beard or beer belly on some of the working members and somewhat easier to find a trim feminine figure.

Quite a few of those gentlemen from the press I caught gaping at my pith helmet... some of them, who asked nicely, got pictures, but two of them I sent packing as diplomatically as possible :

- The first one wanted me to move over to the W&D stand so he could get a picture of me with a pint of Jennings... as if I was supporting the takeover !

- The second one was from a TV crew, and wanted to feed me 'witty' lines he'd written, for me to say to the camera, about beers we didn't even have on the bar I was working at. I found the idea somewhat insulting...

Cheers !

Really? I thought there were several Middle Earth species represented on that particular bar...

They were taking the pith I reckon
