RichardB Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm working away on my Pubs list and I wondered just which Pubs got the most mentions. The data covers mainly 1821-1925, so there is a heavy bias there. The Pubs have a score out of 17, not related to the quality of the beer and the pickled eggs, but, related to how many of the 17 different data sources I've used they are listed in. So a little known Pub will have a score of 0 or 1, and the most often quoted Pubs will have a score of 9, 10, or, in the case of the "winner", an incredible 14. Just for fun, see how many of the top 10 rated Pubs you can guess at. If the above description makes no sense to you then just type the names of ten old Pubs and post 'em; you'll have as much chance as anyone else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
