At least I can say I tried it. Sometimes I’m driven to do silly things like that. I thought it was the proper, traditional thing to do. So, forsaking my lovely flat atop a Georgian terraced house I packed up some things and moved into the rooms above The Gunmakers.It had been years since the pub had been lived in. The last people to do so were Pat and Pat, the old couple who ran the place for

Canada.com asks the question, why do men get all the glory in the kitchen? I’m not thinking of around the home; I’m not thinking of the Food Channel; I’m thinking of the superstars of gastronomy who pack in the crowds and rake in the millions simpl…

Three years ago, there was only one pub called The Gunmakers in London. That’d be the excellent, characterful little place in Clerkenwell. You know it well. Regrettably, these days there are two: The William Wallace in Marylebone adopted the name when it changed hands in 2006. (Whenever their customers call up or email here by mistake they’re invariably enquiring about karaoke and the

We love the Landlord. It’s the beer that sells all year round. I dropped into the pub yesterday afternoon to find the old school Landlord logo chalked up on the blackboard at the front of the pub. The artist says she’s willing to do the same for guest beers, but only if I’ll pay hard cash.According to Cision – “the leading global partner in media intelligence” – this is the UK’s leading beer blog

I’m toying with the idea of going back to Morocco in the next few weeks. I think I deserve a holiday – I work as much as ten hours a week, which is far too much for a man in his fourth decade. One doesn’t want to “burn out”. To gee myself up, I’ve been looking through my photos from the last time I was there. Here’s one taken through a beer glass in Ouarzazate, a city to the south of the Atlas

As you know, I’m keen on bigging up my London credentials. I like to gloss over the fact I didn’t grow up here, and rarely come into contact with anyone who was born within the sound of Bow bells. Well, last night proved that I’m not quite as streetwise as I’d like to think.Alighting from the Northern Line at Embankment – en route to Gordon’s Wine Bar on Villiers Street – I failed to pay any

There are a lot of shopping strategies when it comes to getting your child’s school items. As Parenting Guide Laureen Miles Brunelli writes: I’ve been burned by the “wait until school starts” approach to buying supplies, sometimes waiting too long and discovering stores out of stock of certain items.
In those instances, not only did it mean an additional trip to the store, in some cases I ended up paying…choke…full price when items came back in stock!
So I’ve learned to shop smart but early. I layout the sales pages and my kids’ school supply lists together and try to find the best spot to shop. But maybe it’s just me and my kids’ overly particular teachers. Do you think waiting until school starts is a good strategy? Tell us how you save on school supplies.
