OT: Norway in Yorkshire

Yes, I think I've never seen a larger lineup of pumps in the UK. Or anywhere, come to think of it -- festivals aside, natürlich. It was nearly heaving when I was there, though that was late afternoon - early evening on a Saturday. One thing that might put you off the place: they do not only halves, but also third pints. Bit too modern and girly for you? Splendid, cute young staff and management. Deep fried crickets and worms round out the bar snacks (no real food here!). Speaking of draught Bass (where "draught" == "cask-conditioned", not keg!). Met up with some mates in Plymouth a few years ago. The Dolphin is a great old boozer famous for draught Bass. I've never encounted better Bass. Nor better service! http://tinyurl.com/bass-dolphin (photo not mine, but from one of the mates) IIRC, there were 8 of those lined up on the stillage: the four you can see and then a row above them.
