Mine's a pint - or two!
Radio Five Live has become a 'close' friend of mine during the daily commute I make around the M25 - it is without doubt my number one radio station.
I was interested to hear a debate the other day on the price of drinks in various establishments across the world ranging from the blind to the ridiculous - £127 for a brandy seems a touch extravagant!
However, it appears when it come to value for money you will struggle to beat the Officers' Mess at RAF Uxbridge. One caller informed us that you can get a pint for 78p - now that's what a call value for money.
This led to some lively debate and ultimately an invitation to Five Live presenter Peter Allen to sample the delights of the bar at RAF Uxbridge. It will be interesting to see if he takes up the offer - with beer at that price perhaps we would be wise to book the next day off!.
Anyway, if you know of anywhere locally that can beat 78p for a pint then I would be interested to hear from you.
On a more sobering note today will be hetic at Gazette House as this week's issues really starts to come together - I will shortly be catching up with the news team to see what's on the agenda and will keep you updated as the day progresses.
