Cheers! It's Mike Chapple at the bar

WE love our pubs and our drink here on Merseyside. And even though there are those who will be keen to deny it, drinking culture and the inspiration it provides was an important ingredient in Liverpool winning the Capital of Culture nomination. Hopefully by reading this weekly missive those who would beg to differ may begin to understand why. Cheers!

THE realisation that pubs and Yours Truly were set for a lifetime’s romance came one Christmas Eve at 16 years of age.

Our Kev and I had been grafting hard for seasonal pocket money on the local farm, and the older lads who worked there full time invited us along to make a hefty dent in our brown pay packets at the local, the Blue Anchor, on Aintree Lane.
