called into his regular almost every day at 3pm for the past 72 years.<\/p>\n<p>He estimates that in this time he has consumed around 30,000 pints of Courage bitter in The Griffin Pub.<\/p>\n<p>The watering hole is in the South Gloucestershire village of Warmley and to celebrate Mr Reid's 90th birthday, a plaque has been fitted on his favourite chair.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I've always worked hard and enjoyed visiting the pub &ndash; I've never seen the need to go much further,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Reid &ndash; who never got married or had kids &ndash; already has his own glass behind the bar for when he comes in.<\/p>\n<p>You have to say it's a pretty impressive record and probably makes plenty of other men from the area green with envy.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<img
