gnineveehtnireeb christmas crawl

Plan: Spell out BEERINTHEEVENING with the first letters of pub names. But do it backwards so that we finish in the Black Horse, preferably in time to get some nice cheap drinks in the 6-7 happy hour. A half/single in each pub except for the 2 EEs, where we'll have a pint/double. Starting at 11am, naturally.

Result: We had to do some slightly different pubs to the ones we'd originally planned, mainly due to some of them not opening early enough, the bastards. But we still finished in time. Mike has done a full report.
