Aye, good luck -- and don't make it sound too tough in the report please. Some of us are planning to hare up it this time next year, and don't want to be deterred.
Talking of London Pride, you asked me a while ago to recommend a good Fuller's pub in London. I have a shortlist, but to keep you going, and to while away the hours in Hobart, here is one of my favourites: The Star in Belgravia. The very name sends me into a whirl of nostalgic pleasure. This one will be high on the final list.
The Star Tavern
Edited to add running note: And I see from the website that Pride is "the official beer of the London Marathon", so you can enjoy a few pints, knowing that you are merely supporting this great sporting event. (And in fairness, I should add that much as I enjoy a decent pint of the stuff, there are beers close to the hearts -- geographical and emotional -- of some people on here that would run it a very close race, and possibly even sweep past in the final stretch. Step forward Harvey's of Lewes and Timothy Taylor's of Keighley -- GM's Yorkshire manor.)
