What is a British pub these days anyway? Don't know what it was like in other parts of the UK, but in the Cotswolds where we used to live, all the old locals pubs had been bought up by redevelopment companies, gutted, refitted with trendy chunky tables and turned into gastro-pubs where you get charged 15 quid for a bowl of chips. In the five years we lived there, every pub within five miles was bought and redeveloped in order to sell high-priced food. It was very difficult to find anywhere you could go and just have a quiet pint. So, yes - in a way I miss the British pub - but then I'd miss it if I was living in the UK too, because I don't think it exists any longer.

Should have gone to the Thornbury area... still plenty of good pubs round there... bit late now though !!
My daughters village had 7 pubs!! Some "gastro" pubs but at least 3 very old fashioned English pubs. One still has an original Watneys brewery advertising plaquard outside :lol: Not forgetting the creeking floorboards, beer smelling carpets, flat cap wearing pensioner propping up the bar (i'm sure he was stuffed and never left the stool) :lol: and dartboard in the corner. |

Most pubs are crap though not just because they are gastro-pubs but because they are full of blokes who can't see their feet who hate their wives - as my teacher used to say. |
Re: The 100% 'totally negative about Aus' thread
I love going to the pub best way to socialise in my opinion, get to meet new people, big pub culture where we are everyone goes..on the negative side prehaps they go too often.

Re: The 100% 'totally negative about Aus' thread
My no 1 negative...the driving!
I'm back "home" in Vic (Geelong & Melb) for a bit....the driving is outrageous. Fashion is appalling.... the trendy, up-to-date stores have purchased some Tesco and Top Shop designs, which were quite nice in the northern 2007summer (ie 18 months ago)...... My other negative is that I'm worried that I might get sunburned LOL. |
