New pub in honour of John

[thebarguest]

Heswall has a rep for being quite "posh" but I haven't been there
myself. I suspect it's like West Kirby nearby, where that new
Bond actor comes from ie posh compared to, say, Bootle or Harlow or 
East Oxford but not as posh as, say, North Oxford or the posh 
enclaves of Lahndon, like Hampstead. In other words, the predominant 
class is "lower-middle", with mild, Lennon-esque Liverpool accents.
In terms of location for a pub, I'd rather make my way home at 11:30
Sat night from the "John Peel" in Heswall as opposed to the "Scally 
Arms" in Bootle. I think city centre and country pubs have more 
atmosphere than suburban ones, anyway.....
