A friend went into Sinclairs in Manchester yesterday tea time to find that 
they've taken the real ale off and removed the hand pumps.

It does seem a shame that Sam Smith's are doing this in such a historic pub 
Sinclairs  is part of the Shambles which is now located at the end of Long 
Millgate.  It is famous for having being moved twice, first in the 70s and 
then about ten years ago in connection with development work in the area.

Whilst it only had one real ale on it was a handy spot for a pint whilst 
waiting for a train at Victoria - the alternatives are not much to write 
home about.
