I believe the Winchester is regarded as a good pub.

I'd rather I was in a pub like that and not like a one where the patrons are lying in pools of their own vomit or are swinging pool cues around like an extra in a Jackie Chan film.

We have 2pubs near to mine.
The first is what they try and brand as an "upmarket bar" located somewhere where Severn Trent would love to build a sewage pump station. Yes the decor and menu prices are upmarket but the clientelle seem to think they can put on a posh accent upon arrival. Give it 10 mins and the normal selves comes out including usual bust ups, throwing of pints glasses and urinating everywhere but the urinal.
The other pub is complete opposite. Ember Inns so run of the mill but the people friendly and you would think most people go home with a bruise or 2 but infact its quite a nice place to be-on your own or as a bunch of friends.
There is a 3rd pub but thats abit of a further walk which is inbetween the 2. However the decor leaves alot to be desired.
I prefer pub 2 but for some unknown to me bizarre reason, I frequent the others too just to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I recall most bitters were circa 3.2-3.8%, with a British lager being largely under 4%. Very true, there is also a trend among several craft brewers to add a summer lightweight (or straw weight) to there range of about 2%. No bad thing if you're out for a long session, so long as they still taste good which the ones I've tried do. Sort of wish right now I'd drank such beers last night instead of sampling some very fine IPA's, porters and stouts lol.

I recall most bitters were circa 3.2-3.8%, with a British lager being largely under 4%. True. "Cooking" lagers (Carlsberg, Carling etc) were always around 3% ABV, whereas the "Export" ones (Stella, Carlsberg Export etc) were around 5%. Why the breweries decided there was a gaping void that needed to be filled between the two I'll never understand. It's an almost Audi-esque exercise in niche marketing, but seems to have worked.
