"CAINS BEER

Although the Cains Beer Company is not well known outside its native Liverpool, it has been brewing there since 1850. Cains posted maiden results this week following June's reverse takeover of the struggling pub group Honeycombe Leisure. In a world of bland, uniform beers, Cains Finest Lager really is a bit different it is brewed using only the most expensive hops. Cains' other beers have also won numerous awards. This is early-stage investment and high-risk but Cains' strength is its product, and for daring investors this looks well worth backing. "

Yep, I did note them from the other week, they had dropped back though from 28p to about 19p the last time I looked...one to keep an eye on thought!

An interesting web-site - thanks

Yes, an interesting site. Note that you can register on it (to do reviews) at age 16!

Also 'interesting' is the review of the Old Joint Stock concerning food being thrown across the table by the staff to the customer(s)...

Yes I noticed that, they (the staff) are a bit that way -):

Pity about the lack of suitable parking at The Barton Arms as the service there is excellent even when they're short staffed.... and the great value Thai food there goes down well when accompanied by JHB. Not much info on The Poachers Pocket (in Kitts Green) - that 'suffers' from similar 'problem' to Barton Arms - old building has character, beer is good, food is good - but location that has built up around it isn't 'ideal'.

Notice the pub I first drank real ale at (The Junction Inn, St.Denys) has excellent reviews. However, the pub that holds my fondest memories doesn't appear to be around anymore. If anyone reading this knows what happened to The Southerner near Bargate in Southampton can they please post a reply?

Only been to The Barton once but agree a fine place for most things social.

"Birmingham Pubs
Birmingham has a wealth of classic pubs, with a strong emphasis on those built during the Victoria era. These vary from a simple corner local to the splendid opulence of the Bartons Arms. Here, we present a selection of Birmingham's best.":

You boys concentrate on the market!!

Let others do the drinking.


Worth a look.

RBS and EZJ seem to be prepared for uptrend. I have SBs and Shares in them. Sold Shares bets CART at 93 bought at 58, although I still think they are worth over 300+, holding shares in them still. The spread widens sometimes during the day, so be careful. Will possibly buy back when review sentiment.


What are you in?

Indeed.....I can feel a "Decent Pubs Thread" coming here soon (-:

Imagine what a draw an indecent Pub would be for the meetings!

That could be what we are missing.

Hadn't thought of it that way....good point well made )-:

Well, in times of unusual volatility it's often cheaper to drink than to invest / trade.... and certainly a lot less stressful.....

Presently not in to any short term trading.... Holding on to some tech stocks that should have 'potential' as the relevant niche technologies come good: EGX, MVH, PYF, SRT. SNS.

Anyway, I'm now switching off my pc and awaiting dinner to be accompanied by cold Singha Beer - which Sainsbury's were selling off cheap at 1.50 for large (630ml) bottles .... Singha and sunshine at same time - quite relaxing....

>Imagine what a draw an indecent Pub would be for the meetings!

Well the Southerner in Southampton was an indecent pub - that's why it retains my fondest memories still - a quarter of a century later....

Hope no one is 'long' on the DOW or FTSE this evening ...!!!

Are you trying to cheer me up Survivor?

Cash....it's never been so popular )-:

Fred,

I do hope that you have kept your "buying" hands in your pockets.

Well, Fred, as you know I'm always 'optimistic' that the worst will happen.....

At least REH is up this morning.....

PS: Wonder what the barman at the food throwing pub (O.J.S.) thinks about the 'mini-panic'?

No I have been burnt.
