Come on then, people. Put your thinking heads on, and try and work out where the pub actually is!

Whoever guesses closest by the time we move in, will win a free small glass of diet cola!

Fifteen miles is a long way away.
What about on the way to, or on the way from the festival?

And what about when they think 'gosh - Slipknot are nothing more than a poor imitation of the kind of theatrics that Uncle Alice uses. Now, where can I go for a bit of culture, where I can discuss the finer points of the writings of Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain, or the symbolic use of gouged eyes in films by Fulci. It's a shame there isn't a pub within an approximate 15-20 mile radius where I could go for a free small glass of diet cola'!
