Hi Phil,
I will, thanks very much! And GREAT news about the ale – Old Speckled Hen one of my favourites! I can definitely cope with Tiger beer too, in fact generally not averse to many alcoholic beverages now I think about it, so should survive, cost aside.
Talking of which, must try and stop the husband buying a pair of expensive looking ski boots online now (think he’s in denial).
Have a great trip to the UK and I’ll drop you a line once we’ve arrived and got our bearings! (Fly out 6th August).
Cheers!
Sarah

Hi Sarah
Great, give us a shout when you arrive. (We’ll be back in UK end of Aug, early Sept.) Plenty of ale here — you can get Boddington, Old Speckled Hen and local microbrewery beers on draught — for a price. I have been known to knock back the occasional Tiger beer too.
Phil

We’re moving from London to Singapore next month, I’ve loved reading your blog in preparation (beats packing and DIY!) and good to also know what you miss from home; I love pubs, ale and British weather (even when it’s rubbish!) so reckon I’m in for a shock. But plenty of upsides to compensate – thank you for all the insights!
