The River Wandle: a river in beer

GMG to drop original programming and cut staff at Channel M – guardian.co.uk Says something about local TV in the UK if Guardian Media Group can't even make it work in a city the size of Manchester.

It might sound a bit of a cliche, but when I first moved to London, one of the questions I'd get asked by people up north was "how do you cope with the beer down there?" as if there was something almost poisonous about the London beers!

With seven of us rolling up for the lunchtime session, we set off on our quest, which was naturally to sample every single thing they had available
Festive Signage. From 2005. And at Christmas. Err. Yes. Well, better late than never I suppose…

I've been working at home today after breaking part of a tooth off by biting into a bit of stone in my muesli resulted in a quick repair job at the dentist. And no, I never thought I'd say such a lame excuse for not travelling to White City either.

I can still remember where I was, when it was and what I was drinking when I had my first pint of ale.
