Not a pub in site... Meh.

From there you can see the Fox, the Greyhound, Bankes Arms, The Castle and the Scott Arms. Almost.

I would never dismiss anyone's personal anxiety though, as being less important to another persons.

That was not my intention, just trying to be clearer what we're referring to. 

Yes, my anxiety levels vary, and most of the time I find ways of getting round it. My point was really that it's not something that's going to be improved by gaining a better skill set, or somehow 'trying harder', so I bristle slightly when those kinds of solutions are implied. 

I'm not sure what people are referring to as social anxiety here; it's sounding very much like being shy or lacking confidence. 

I'm reasonably confident socially and feel I can converse with most people in most situations. I'm also comfortable with silence and my own company. 

Nevertheless, my anxiety can prevent me from leaving the house, even to go to the shop for a pint of milk. This has nothing to do with a lack of social skills, but is a debilitating level of panic, so I'm wondering if the term is being used too broadly.

Scott Arms?

I know, I'm a sucker for these overpriced novelties.

Is that a local by-law?

It's certainly a tradition. The old gits in the bar tend to make a day of it.

It saves annoying trips to the bottle bank. Can throw the cans straight into recycling bin 

That's hardly a recommendation for the beer though. 

Another good discovery is Durdle Door, by Dorset Brewing Company. Very drinkable best bitter at 5%.

I suppose, relative to £6 for a pint of diluted Amstel in a plastic cup...
