From what i can tell from your posts Topher you have an idillic village life existene with drinking aplenty

[MK Chris]

Ha, but I ain't no village bumpkin, far from it. I prefer city life to be honest, more lively.


My road, for those interested... (None probably, but what the hey.)

[ninemaster]

yeah but you dont get the village hostelries in cities

[MK Chris]

You mean the inbred quality?

[Lew]

i think he means things like where i walk into my local londis and as soon as i walk up to the counter the woman prices up 20 b&h before i have even said a word!

[Sam]

Awwww, judging by that picture that is the sort of place I'd want to live! Can I come and move in with ya Topher?

2000 posts people.

[MK Chris]

Ha, maybe I should try that one more often!

You can if you want to be cut off from the rest of the world (apart from this board, obviously..)

I much prefere country life to city life and I experiance both so I shold know. Like Lewis says you can walk into places and they know exactly what you want. I only have to walk through the door in the Red Lion and I hear Eddie the land lord saying "Stella, Simon?"

[MK Chris]

Nooo, not Stella! Gnat's p*ss that stuff is!

What you need is a Charlie Wells pub that does Red Stripe and Carling, then you have the best choice.

The Dixie Arms does Bud on tap, which is nice, and at £2.30 a pint it's not bad. It's the cheapest premium in the village.

You don't have to be in the sticks to get that though, I walk into the off-license opposite the pub and the bloke has his hands on 20 Embassy before I'm through the door, and gives me credit if I ask. Then a quick hop across the road (I'm sure walking would be easier, I must try it) to the pub and there'll be a pint of Carling done for me by the time I reach the bar....

Either this means that it's not just little villages where this happens, or I spend far too much time in the pub.

[Sidders]

True. They normally recorgnise me in Steer's Beers on London Road where I go most nights to purchace some cheapo white cider.

It's not just that though, there's much more a sense of community at home because nearly everybody knows each other. It's a much more friendly environment.

it means you're all drunks yes

[MK Chris]

Don't start timb. What you don't drink either? Are you a model human being by any chance?

[Gigglyboots]

I don't understand you timb, I really don't. You are very anti-smoker, but smoking weeds fine but you don't drink...

Whatever floats your boat.
