    Just before Christmas - on a cold Tuesday - we went to two pubs for food and both were reasonably busy. On the 22nd, we tried to go to another pub but it was bookings only. And just last Monday we tried to go to a few pubs but they were too full.

    A lot seems to depend on the location and quality/quantity of snap they provide. But "beer only" pubs are something of a lost cause unfortunately.

    Many places don't even have beer; just pi55y, fizzy lager or cider. :mad:

    I’ve got mates that drink nothing but pi55y fizzy lager and cider, they can’t stand pretentious real ales with knobhead names (their words not mine) me personally I like pi55y fizzy lager and ales with knobhead names :)

    It’s very enjoyable though.
    Like anything, it’s fine in moderation - you could probably replace the word alcohol for quite a few other things in the paragraphs above and you’d end up in broadly the same place.

    having a beer with your mates, a cold wine on a hot summers day, a nice red with some steak…i just would not want to give these up.. Life is for living and all that, we aren’t here for long

    If I was an actual fanny I would be completely bald.

    I've just realised that sounds very Prince Andrew but not exactly what I meant. Eating out a lovely clean shaven beaver is one of life's great pastimes.

    Correct-ish. Trim and tidy - excellent. Full-on coot - a bit Prince Andrew.
