Ale trail

[dit]

When I saw the headline here I thought, "What on earth?"

Then I saw what paper it was from, and went looking for a more sensible interpretation, which I found here - panic over!

They should go to Liverpool theres a pub every 100yrds from the centre to St Helens.

good thing youve found a better interpretation - I didnt like the first at all!

Now I'm thinking of Senior Walk in Houghton/Hancock. Graduating seniors start at the end of Hancock, walk to every bar until they're back on campus, get a drink at each one. There's over 20 bars.

I never took part, I decided to study for finals instead. Plus I had a senior barrel party and I don't remember that night at all....but I had a camera. And it got used. ;D

What a idiotic headline in the first one. Here's me thinking the boozers are the ones "off the rails". Silly me.

Surely people who wander into a pub who clearly shouldn't be consuming any more alcohol won't be served any??

The Trail was famous for a long time before James and Oz hit it. It seems they are putting blame on them for popularizing it, or perhaps it's their way of finding an excuse for the loutish behaviour they are experiencing.
