Are they still printing the beer glasses? They did last year, but not the year before. I'm hoping for Bagpuss, Mr Benn or Ivor the Engine...again! Anna (eternal designated driver[:(])

I just wish they didn't have to amplify the live music. It's totally unnecessary in such a small pub and ruins conversation.

I now am the proud owner of 2 White Horse Glasses. Enjoyed the Summer Lightning ad Babylon Banks, even though I seemed to be the youngest person in the pub.

Nigel hasn't got a full set, but the copyright holders of Oliver Postgate should still have one for each festival that used their name.....

Don't know the total as they've been relegated to the darkest corner of the house, where all the dasturdly spiders live. The ones I can see from here are Hectors House, Captain Pugwash, The Soup Dragon and Danger Mouse, plus a Hertford Castle one, which I don't think is from the White Horse.
