The Tap is the best pub round our way now. A lovely old style pub overlooking the Mersey. Again, a biker pub. Brill jukebox and ace crowd .

Christ, haven't been The Tap in about eight years. Great pub, used to be up there every other Friday night depending on which band was on (there's a few local biker bands I try and avoid, there's only so many versions of Roadhouse Blues you can hear trotted out for 20 minutes with a hoary old Joe Cocker wannabe on vocals before going insane).

But aye, The Tap or if you head back over the water into the city centre, The Swan every time.

When you walk into a pub, you should see an wooden bar, obviously well used, preferably a wooden floor and seats with fag burns on them

Thats when you know its home

Last time I passed through Newbury it was changed into a fucking IRISH THEME PUB. Bastards .

Exactly the same as the Festival House here in Norwich, once a great Metal pub I used to enjoy geting absolutely wankered in after a good day's moshing. It's now an Irish theme pub called Delaney's.

I now want the place to be attacked by a pyromaniac of the worst sort. Any "Irish Theme Pub" that can't even serve fucking Guinness correctly deserves cleansing.

I didn't recognize Wales' places in any of the 10 best so the list must be wrong.

For anyone interested, this is apparently how the worst and best places were decided...

I'd happily live in Horsham again. But then again, I'd probably live in Manchester again quite happily

Sorry mate, I've never handled a donkey... Most I've ever had any experience with was cows, pigs and chickens.

I used to live in Telford, in Shropshire. Now that place was a complete dump. It is also jam packed with chavs.
