Let me say first that I think there are some very nice lagers around, so no offence to the continentals on the forum is intended.
I think my life has been missing something. I used to enjoy, from time to time and in moderation of course, a good old warmish pint of English bitter in an English pub.
Time was of course I could have enjoyed a fag at the same time and a healthy discussion with an acquaintance or two, but you'll know that the Thought and Health Police have put a stop to smoking and to anything other than politically correct conversation.
So with the demise of the traditional pub, where are wise assemblies of men/women to meet?
RIP English Pub and Freedom of Speech
