Apart from a few people worse for wear in Stockport centre at 6pm, all I saw was good behaviour all evening on Mad Friday (and I walked the 2 miles back to the hotel at midnight without seeing any flashing lights).<br /><br />I won't comment on Mudge's drinking of course, but I reckon 15 units was average (8 pubs, the odd pint, Old Tom at the end). My midnight kebab in Edgeley was the only bad decision of the night !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-82885680144793265832015-12-20T10:58:11.403+00:002015-12-20T10:58:11.403+00:00Just read it, thanks Mudge.

I lived near Stockport, for a short while, back in the late 70’s. I don’t remember that much about the pubs though, mainly because I did most of my drinking in Romiley, where my then girlfriend and I were renting a flat. Mainly Robinsons, of course, with the odd Boddingtons pub thrown in.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-85902380812711649882015-12-20T10:14:22.855+00:002015-12-20T10:14:22.855+00:00Also see retiredmartin's write-up which has no...Also see retiredmartin's write-up which has now popped up in your blogroll.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-5378752942561464782015-12-20T10:10:09.653+00:002015-12-20T10:10:09.653+00:00“The annual Hillgate Stagger believed to be the lo...“The annual Hillgate Stagger believed to be the longest continuously running CAMRA event in the country.” Glad to see some traditions are still being observed!Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-70913216804984008072015-12-20T10:07:52.944+00:002015-12-20T10:07:52.944+00:00Glad to hear it, Mudge.

Several landlords reported an extremely busy Friday night, but all good humoured and no signs of trouble.<br /><br />Daily guidelines were definitely exceeded! I haven’t had a chance to work out yet whether the weekly limit was exceeded. It may have been in my friends case, as he carried on drinking pints, after I had switched to halves.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-72777004446288561382015-12-19T17:26:57.688+00:002015-12-19T17:26:57.688+00:00You will be pleased to know that the Stockport &am...You will be pleased to know that the Stockport & South Manchester Branch of CAMRA had a great time last night on the annual <a href="http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/staggering-uphill.html" rel="nofollow">Hillgate Stagger</a>, believed to be the longest continuously running CAMRA event in the country.<br /><br />I suspect daily (or even weekly) drinking guidelines may have been exceeded!Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
