I just thought that I would give this book a mention.

The Tippling Philosopher - Jeremy James
ISBN 1 873674 74 0
Published by Merlin Unwin books 2004

In the pubs of the valleys of Clun and Beguildy,the world is put to rights.Farmers,builders,cow chasers,hedge pleachers,sheep shearers,grafters and gentlemen of the cider barrels and meadows,smack their fists into the bar-top puddles and dispute the world around them.

Jeremy James,always one for a great pub story,has polished the bars of the tap rooms from Beguildy to Ludlow and back.These wonderful,wise and funny stories are the fruits of his labour,the harvest of thousands of pints of the local swill and two and half miles of cigarettes.
