Retired Martin does blogs daily so no idea how many he has done now.
I noticed that Pubcurmudgeon has had over 500,000 hits.
These are the three blogs i read most days.
I have done 47 posts which is far less than most bloggers i know have done,but and there is a big but,i have added loads of photos of pubs i have been in on my blog.
So with time on my hands i did a count of pubs i have done a crap write up on and took a photo of.
I was quite surprised as to how many photos i had added to my blog.
Here goes the stats.
756 crap write ups about pubs i have done
744 half decent photos of the pubs i have been in.
21 crap write ups of pubs that i have either not got a photo of or not yet got the photo of it converted to disc to put on my blog.
I will never be able to blog as much as other good pub related bloggers i read,but i am well pleased as to how many photos of different pubs appear on my blog.
Here are two photos of pubs i have done but have long gone,one is on a pub site the second pub is not on a pub site i know.

They have built on its site and it is not in the City of Nottingham.
This is an easy one to find as it is on a pub site.

This pub is long gone and is in the Nottingham Conurbation.
A clue for this pub is it was near a Speedway track.
It would be nice if some of you tried to find out where these two pubs were.
If not i will let you know on Sunday.
Many thanks for all of the kind words that have been posted in the last couple of weeks and to those who have read my blog,i will try and do a few simple posts like this that are not too time consuming.
We are down,but not out,and i will be back properly at some point.
Cheers Alan
"I have done 47 posts which is far less than most bloggers i know "
ReplyDeleteBut it's probably 47 more than I'll ever do!
"756 crap write ups about pubs i have done"
That made me chuckle. :)
And I enjoy the photos of the various pubs down through the years.
Crossing my fingers for you Alan. Best of luck mate.
Cheers

DeleteGreat stuff Alan ...nearly 800 pubs blogged and who knows how many more you've got up your sleeve!! The piccys are great too as often a real throwback...it's quality not quantity of posts mate...hope your recovery is a speedy one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ian.
DeleteWith photos around another 10,000,now done over 12,500 pubs in the United Kingdom.
The first may be the Happy Man, 87 Hickings Lane, Stapleford, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. Working on the second.
ReplyDeleteQuite right! See Alan's review of this pub on Pubs Galore. https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/30936/
DeleteI knew the Happy Man would be an easy one to get,but well done, Richard for finding it.
DeleteSadly one of many pubs that have closed down in Stapleford.
Thanks for the kind words, Alan. You have good taste in blog reading :-)
ReplyDeleteThe white pub was the Pavilion Hotel, Station Rd, Long Eaton - next to the Speedway track. As a 6th former in the 70's we used to go here to listen to live bands play - it was popular as a live music venue.
ReplyDeleteYes spot on with that Ray and Gail.
DeleteI first went in the pub around 1979 and used to play pool in there.
I have never watched a band there which surprises me as i used to like watching pub bands.
