The only problem with living in the sticks is that to get to the pub you need to drive, or walk, eight miles. The latter is manageable while sober but a whole other story when trolleyed, and the risk of Death-By-Bog rises with every swerving step home.

What you really need is your own pub, especially one you can store in the shed when you’re finished. UK company, Amber Iris, is offering you the chance to buy the world’s first inflatable pub, The Hogsmead. It looks like a pub, measures 13.3 x 4.6m on the inside, comes with a fully working bar but has the advantage that when you trip into a wall, you just bounce off, unscathed. It comes with two air blowers and takes an hour to inflate. It costs £16,500 though so cheap, it is not.

This has been around for a little while, I’ll admit, but the company has since added some new additions, namely the smaller and less expensive, The Barrel (£11,750), The Kilderkin (£5,450) and The Firkin (£4,379). There’s even a Polynesian themed pub up for grabs. Go here for more.-Martin Lynch
