Pubcast 10.5: Old Bank of England, Fleet Street, EC4

For Itunes subscribers, there is a second Barney Bonus, coming form the Old Bank of England pub on Fleet Street. The same problems with the sound are abound, but in this pubcast, number 10.5, you can clearly see what happens when the pubcasteers (and Barney) go to review a pub knowing absolutely nothing about the pub. And try to review it after one too many pints.

However, this pub, despite being fairly disappointing, even given the ridiculous ornateness , the nice story about Sweeney Todd and that it sells thick, chocolatey stout, was the pub where the pubcast photo of Alex and Dave (top right of the blog) was taken. Does it earn itself special bonus points for this? No, no it does not.

Though, to be fair, the pubcasteers were somewhat (though understandably) disenchanted with the place from the off, due to the high ratio of People Who Looked Like Lawyers to Clearly Not Lawyers present in the bar.
