This is probably Britain's most-read blog about beer and pubs (although I do stray off-topic sometimes, and beer geeks seem to hate me). I started writing it in January 2007. Back then I was a lawyer working in the City of London. In April 2009 I became the landlord of The Gunmakers Arms in Clerkenwell, a wonderful little pub in my favourite part of London.

I'm not a fan myself, but the presence of Morris Men has magically transformed that little street where your pub is into a rural idyll. You should have a cricket match out front next.
Glad to see the dancers went off without a hitch and that their very presence didn't cause the apocalypse! Seems weird to me how some folks who probably consider themselves rather openminded and diverse aren't when it comes to their own culture!
The best noticed point of this Jeff is that if you enlarge the picture every ticker watching this looks chronically bored shitless And that goes for the two in the upstairs window, one of which could possibly be your good self?.The only smiles are from dancing troupe.
Mr Crud, not one person in that crowd could remotely be described as a ticker, and apart from my mate Ross (the bloke looking out the window), not one of them would know what a ticker was. As anyone who's been here will confirm, this isn't a beer wierdo pub!

You need video on your blog, Jeff!
It's pre-Norman invasion culture. Maybe that's why we don't like it because we're all cheese eaters at heart?
If Ronaldo is worth £80 Million, what can these guys be worth!
Knut, a few of the people there recorded videos. Indeed young Biggles can be seen doing just that, sitting on the kerb.

@Bailey: Why not croquet?

I like the renamed blog!
Vaux may well be less than pleased.
Morris is pre-Norman? I thought it was more like 1500s or so.
bark:
Eyre Hill is too steep for croquet. The ball would roll down to the Coach & Horses, not good.
I love morris dancing. Good fun.
