Sansome’s is the new bar on Queen’s Rd, lurking behind the Marston’s lorry in the last posting. The name has been recycled from the Haberdashery shop that used to be there. The last place in Leicester you could buy a string vest. I popped in there to try the Pedigree the other night with a few friends. It was a new brew called Pedigree Smooth. A keg beer which I felt was rather a sell out to the traditions of Marston’s Brewery. I tried a couple of pints, while my friends stuck to lager. It had a similar taste and one could imagine the waters flowing across the gypsum of South Derbyshire into Burton on Trent, but somehow it wasn’t quite right. designed for the minimal maintenance required by bars these days. I felt moved to nip over the road to Babalas and have a proper pint, hand pumped by a buxom barmaid. no Pedi that night, but the Timothy Taylor's Landlord was just perfect.

Grief! Think what it might have looked like if they'd used The Dragon's old place......
Ooooh and kept some of the 'kit'.
Pass me another blonde, this one's leaking from the ears.
How long did it take you to get shot of the bloke?
Obviously you can get a good Blonde there, but can you get a good Steak Pie?
IPeter, I need the bloke for a spot of 'help', if you catch my drift.....
Here's the deal Toby. New post or their phone numbers.
