    The Three Fishes in Shrewsbury has a blanket ban on mobiles: I also think all pubs should follow their lead.

    Good article. I bet more traditional cozy 'Put your feet up and stay awhile' pubs such as The Bow Bar are better for men's mental health than the tickers paradise like The The Hanging Bat too. Just saying.

    Interesting article, though I can't help thinking it states the obvious (while also banging on about the dangers of excess).....

    Some of the comments are quite amusing.

    I'll be in a pub until I'm looking like these lads of the village. Always good for your health.

    First saw that picture in Michael Jackson's "New World Guide to Beer' (1988), the next page has another great photograph, of people in The Harbour Inn, Southwold, a pub I'd get to know very well over the years.

    Thanks for posting the photo, it made me open the book again and rekindle some old memories.

    Had my first pint of Adnams Southwold Mild in there, such a fantastic beer I had to go and get another after only a few gulps.

    I thought that pic looked familiar.
