St Paddy's Day

Today is St Patrick's Day. I searched the department in vain for someone Irish to photograph (where are you when I need you Prof Sharkey?) so you'll have to make do with the Dog & Partridge on Trippet Lane. Assuming you suffer from red/green colour blindness, on an ordinary day it's hard to know this is an Irish pub (that's an *Irish pub*, not *Irish theme pub*). One step inside though and you will be transported to the Emerald Isle, and a very Republican bit of it at that. I bet there's nowhere with so much John F Kennedy stuff on the walls outside of the JFK museum in Hyannis Port, Maine. However, it's reputed to pull the best pint of Guinness in all of South Yorkshire.
