I'll be in Oxford in August (I may take my K2 along) and will have to
check out the various pubs (I've been preparing myself by watching
"Inspector Morse" reruns).  The last time I was in the UK (1989) beer
was a bit over �1 per pint.  I suspect the prices are somewhat higher
these days (they certainly are here for "real ale").
