I wonder if at any time did you have relatives living in south Florida. I knew a couple that lived in a condo complex the same as my grandparents. Let me know. |

Make the most of them in your Country, because the pubs in England/Britain are a dying breed. A combination of high prices, smoking ban and of course the economy is having a huge impact on them. Where a lot of people would visit a pub several times a week, that is now not happening and the pubs are going through a very hard time financially. All day opening has also had an impact. Before the all day opening, the Sunday Dinner time session would see a packed pub and some good company all crammed into a couple of hours from 12noon until 2pm, all day opening has killed that atmosphere stone dead. |
