		<description><![CDATA[When I started drinking real ale in the sixties, I never once saw beer lines being cleaned when a pub was trading. Common sense dictated that it was unacceptable.

		<description><![CDATA[I was in my mid-twenties and living on Tyneside at the outbreak of CAMRA in 1971. The biggest pub-owner in the North East, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, had removed all real ales from their bars some 7 years earlier, although Draught Bass was still on sale in most Bass houses, so there was no problem [...]]]></description>

They are often the only place where the local populace mingles and discusses local and national issues and are at the very heart of a village or urban area. They are also an essential and an envied [...]]]></description>

Not content with taking the country into six military conflicts, our government has also declared open warfare on our beer houses.
