The Zeppelin was excellent. It had been poured before the interrogation about my opinion on the house brew, but I still had to pay. The irate landlord had two choices, waste the pint of Zeppelin or take the money and then take his revenge. He went for the latter.
"Drink up your ale and then piss off and take your fucking opinions with you!"
Problem.. this was Paul's local.
He was distancing himself, miming "He's not with me."
With a number of possible options, I chose the least likely.
"This Zeppelin is fucking brilliant!" It was too.
Paul finally relaxed.

Thanks Drew.... it is in fact true that The John Bunyan is Paul's local...and the moment I started asking about which beer wasn't Macs, he high-tailed it out to one of the benches outside, but for once in my life, tact got the better of me! (But I wouldn't want that to get in the way of....)

Btw, Drew, if Zeppelin is stocked in all McMullen's pubs, the Nag's Head in Covent Garden might sell it as it is (was) a tied house (which of course I rarely went to!)

I thought you worked in London, Drew, across from MI6, hence the tipoff. When I go back to The John Bunyan, if I'm allowed in, I will check where Zeppelin's brewed and let you know.

Sorry, my mistake... I've not been working in town for many years either. I don't miss getting jostled on the Tube :-)

Great drabbles, but the only Zeppelin I drink is laced with Led.
