Another day, another dead rodent. I live with a killer.

Waiting for the tram home. It's been great. Thanks Tom and Martin!

Next tram display on the station platform. It's 00:39. The first tram is in 11 minutes and the next in 23 minutes.

The Bar, Chorlton. A pint of Seamless.

The sign above the door for 'The Bar', Chorlton

Three pints of beer on a pub table, with a pot plant

Crisps!

Whew!

Stairs heading up. A sign saying 'Toilets' points up the stairs.

The Rules of the Pub Crawl state that we're allowed to skip Withington and St Werburgh's Road because there's sod all there.

Stop number 3: The Railway, Burton Road. Possibly my favourite pub :-). Holts Hat Trick.

Two pints of beer on a pub table, and a bottle of beer with a fancy glass

Second stop of the night. Wine and Wallop, West Didsbury.

The platform of West Didsbury tram station at night, looking very similar to Didsbury Village

A brightly-lit, mirrored shelf of optics and bottles behind a bar

My pint was called Under Current. Can't remember where it was from. Slightly over-hopped.

Three pints of ale on a pub table, this time in glass tankards with handles

Martin and Tom have already broken the seal. I'm holding out until the next pub.
