The Pollard Inn, Willaston, Wirral

AS YOU might expect, it being the eve of the clocks going forward and the start of British Summer Time, it was, as they say in politer terms, chucking it down.
Undeterred, the Pub Column, with faithful Wirral good pub sniffer dog Lady Penelope of Pensby on the leash, decided to stick to our original plan – to explore and hopefully discover the first pub for the new season worthy of a grand day out in the sun amid the verdant fields of Albion.
Sometimes it’s a tough task though.

SING along now: “Oh my Darlin’, oh my Darlin’, oh my Darlin’ smarmy swine,
You have lost the plot forever, to commit a ghastly crime.”
A puerile adaptation perhaps, but it’s as nothing compared to the insults many city publicans and “responsible” beer drinkers would have hurled at the Chancellor if he’d popped his head round the door of their locals after Wednesday’s budget.
