Without a doubt, the most interesting fact on this page, sent to us by Mark Scott. The smallest barman in York, who also worked at the smallest pub, is Graham Hughes.

Graham, 34, volunteered to help out at the Blue Bell in York when the 200-year-old pub was hit by a staff shortage. Graham, a regular drinker at the pub, said: “I have pulled a lot of pints but not too many shorts. It has been a good laugh.”
