From the London Independent.

Now here’s a list that could be really useful next time you/I visit the British (mostly English) countryside. Country pubs! The Independent has done lists with more than ten items; surely this list of pubs could be extended to at least twenty  five.

All but one of the locations are in England. I know that Northern Ireland is on a different island and Scotland has one foot devolved (even if I do think their single malt is much more drinkable than their beer) but come on! Perhaps the list needs to encompass more entries so all regions are named at least once. I can’t help but get the feeling that the Welsh listing (Monmouthshire) is nothing more than a token. Maybe I’ll have to visit a few next time and report back.
