I am much more English by birth and heritage than you'll ever be Lannis old chap and proud of it but contary to what American TV shows we don't send all our time swilling beer while singing knees up muvver brown and at present prices I can't any way, additionally the British pub is dieing at a rate of knots.My large village once had 12 pubs, now has 3. 8£ a pint for Guiness in the posher ones, under a quid in the co-op.
Jerry, not critcising what you drink, back in my more yobbish days the drink among bikers was stout and cider, for the colonials here thats Guiness and cider in the same glass, very sweet and gives you a hangover only the young survive.
