William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Almost certain Chiswick is available in the Three Guineas, having seen it there last week, and the website concurs: http://www.three-guineas.co.uk/food-and-drink |

Has anyone tried Fuller's Seafarers? They donate ^5 to Seafarers charity for each barrel sold. Branded under the George Gale & Co label (former brewery located in Horndean, near Portsmouth, taken over by Fullers) yet I have never seen it in any of the former-Gales pubs around Portsmouth.

I had one in the Three Guineas on Friday (if my memory is to be relied on - which, on the whole, it isn't). I quite liked it. And yes, they did have Chiswick (same caveat). |

Yes I've had Seafarer in the Center Page near St Paul's cathedral, nice pint. |

Thought I'd pop in to the Three Guineas for a swift half just now.
Didn't realised it was closed until January for a major refurbishment. However, good to see Fullers spending money on a fairly recent acquisition.
Plan B in action. Having a half in the Malmaison hotel opposite. But won't be doing so again. Nearly three guineas for a half a lager here. Three quid!!!

At lunchtime, I'd always recommend the Workhouse, http://www.workhousecoffee.co.uk/, a few minutes walk from the Three Guineas, but as a coffee fiend, I'd rate it as one of the best |

I only had 25 minutes to kill and caffeine was not my wont!
That said, I could probably have got to 'Spoons and back and had a far cheaper half in that time.

Is there still the requirement to display a tariff (I remember seeing these in various establishments, usually hidden in an alcove in microscopic font)? I would have been tempted to leave it there and walk off. Maybe that's not the done thing, but £3 is criminal! |

What do you expect in a boutique hotel? Just because the building was the Railway Hotel, and one of the first of its kind. |

What can you do once you've ordered, the barman is pouring, and then quotes the price? Yeah, I know. Utter a sweary oath under your breath and walk out. But I've been a hotel barman in a 4* establishment and I know the prices aren't his fault, but the ullage may well be. I even tipped him as he was so friendly and chatty. |

Three Guineas was originally due to re-open on the 23rd January - website now says the 30th January. |
