Thank you for that entertainment Greg. I'm not going to show odd like IanC, but I will say that the answer can be found in every edition of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

Ian, I warned you not to waste time posting interim answers, it enabled Watson to beat you.Iwon't post the answer yet, in case you or anyone is persevering. I must apologise, there's a wrong question in there.Comes from relying on fallible memory and typing in a hurry.19 shouldnt be Islington girl's dad's job,which is of course Bailiff as you have corrrectly answered. The question should have been more like "Westminster girl's dad's job (well, not quite Westminster,more like Lambeth)"

The usual suspects seem to be doing well! I'll leave this running a bit longer in case anyone's still working on it.

Well I can't access my personal messages for some reason so I've no idea if peole are still sending in answers..unlikely I suppose as the priz has long gone to Watson. I'll leave it another couple of hours in case anybody's still taking a look.And if you don't agree with my choice of pub, any advice will be gratefully received and thoroughly researched.

Vectis, did you spot my correction of the error in Q19? The right answer to that is R, not B.

Yes Noreen, but not since the 70s. You must get up early - you've usually posted all the answers before I even see Greg's quizzes!

Hope to see you somewhere soon, but it won't be Saddleworth or Warwick or Squilver, I'm afraid.

WassaiL! V
