Moores Bar, Chertsey

Went in there last night to find people smoking at the bar (yes, this is in November 2008). Reminded me of how nice the smoking ban actually is.

Ordered a gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire. The bottle of Bombay was quite obvious at the back but the barmaid had to ask one of the bar hangers for help as she didn't know what it was.

Then their card machine broke and they insisted on writing down all my details on a payment slip - and I mean all, including the security code off the back, which I KNOW they don't need. Had to make them tear up the slip and borrow cash off my friend.

Really quite bad.

The Double Locks, Exeter

Great, great pub. Many a summer's afternoon has been whiled away here! You always sit outside, which is a shame, because if you look inside it's a treasure trove of interesting stuff - eg. the cider kegs that hang from the ceiling for a start!! Don't drive here - either ride or take a canoe (both available from a place on the quay so no excuses!), follow the canal and you can't miss it. The service is a bit slow but if you were in a rush, why would you go to the Double Locks?!
