Man visits 45,000th British pub

A man has had a drink at his 45,000th pub in Britain.

Bruce Masters from Bedfordshire, England started visiting pubs in 1960 and has since drunk more than 25,000 pints of ale, travelling around one million miles across Great Britain.

"There are still a great many pubs I have not been to," the 66-year-old told Metro. "If something is worth doing, it is worth doing properly."

Masters keeps a record of all the pubs he has entered on his computer. The list includes bars at airports and on trains.

His most recent visit was to the 'Hole in the Wall' pub in Portsmouth.

Asked whether his wife minds his fascination with pubs, Masters responded: "She does not begrudge me doing this. She just prefers to stay at home." (from DS)
