Hey Ruth, do you mean english pubs in England, or in America.  I have been to England and yep been in the pubs over there as well as here.  They do have a lot of charm.Wink

To Barbra, your last name sounds awfully familiar to me.  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.

Hi Diana.  I guess what I mean is that there's no charm like the authentic charm of a real English pub, which of course, would be in England.

We have a couple of English pubs here too, but it's just not the same as the real thing, obviously.  If you've not been, I hope you get to go some time soon, Diana.

 

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.

A minute earlier in the thread 'Are the British heavy drinkers' I pretty well confirmed exactly that Dave.

Hi Diana!  Shoemaker is my married name and to my knowledge there are no Shoemaker relatives living in South Florida.
