The Prince Albert Inn, Uxbridge

I used to know the owner of this pub when I lived in the Hillingdon area he used to be a pretty awful gas fitter (before he lost his licence for drink driving) that I would never have do any work near my house, if he has messed about with the meter I would avoid the area completely, and report him to the gas company! Lex1 you are right he is a lecherous creep, and he was barred from many local pubs due to his uninvited attentions to young ladies.

The Union Inn, Old Windsor

Definitely an old fashioned type of boozer with old style glasses - coke still served in goblet style 1/2pts cute but they charge same as you pay for a 14oz branded glass elsewhere. Unless you are a regular then the staff/manager don't speak so remains uncomfortably silent at times. Though makes a change as no pushy upselling from anyone. If they "don't sell that" they wait for you to ask for something else.. avoid if you are used to new style of customer service you get as standard elsewhere...it hasn't reached old windsor yet.

The Oxford Blue, Old Windsor

untidy and unclean. ladies loos terrible despite the plush fluffy red hand towels - I take it they have heard about cross contamination. Staff eating and drinking behind bar was like stepping into a time warp that did not know about food hygiene regulations. Next door to much quieter (perhaps too quiet and soleless) pub/hotel -this very clean and way overpriced - especially food, but the two really just need passing by as neither have much to offer
