International UK Government unveils plans to force pubs to close early

[Satur9]

Now, to get rid off drinking outside and your transformation will be near complete. Good bye, ol’ chap.

Aren't you forgetting the tories proposed banning people from buying smokes altogether?

It was the tories that banned people born after 2009 from buying cigs too.

Yes I had forgotten that, although I'm not sure I would have posted it if I hadn't. They also introduced the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, which caused soft drinks to be debased and their tastes spoilt by having the sugar reduced or removed. I think you're both referring to the Tobacco and Vapes bill, which did not go through in the end, however apparently Labour have something similar in the works. We need to discuss shrinking chocolate bars and reference the 1984 chocolate rations next.

Outside of going straight to a brewery, is the pub the only place you can still find Cask Ale? Is that still even readily available?

As in draught off the pump? You can get that anywhere, bars, pubs, hotels. Night clubs serve pints of beer over here

Damn.... That's sad. I think everyone could use more of a sense of community these days.

Ironically we've seen a resurgence of micro social clubs, where people build a pub in their back garden and have members that can buy booze at cost price.

I've built a pub at the bottom of my land where we host sports events and BBQs

By me people will convert their Garage into a bar and it's called a garbar, or on occasion I've heard bar-age.

Yeah most pubs will have a couple cask ales on, some will have lots.

Specifically naturally carbonated ale, not forced CO2. Or "real ale", if you will.

It's a total rarity in the US. You will luck out once in a while if a brewery fills and taps a Firkin.

You can't even find a proper Bitter here anymore since hoppy beers took over.

Yeah in the craft scene here bitter is a real rarity too. For real bitter you need to target real ale pubs. Tend to be old man's places.

You haven't been allowed to drink on the streets for absolutely years.

Tbh I'd be happy to ban smoking, it's absolutely pointless.

At least we can cross the road where we want.

Really??? Wow. I haven’t been in years, but we did it 8 years ago. Damn, that’s a shame. Learn something new everyday

It would have technically been illegal then.

Shit… Sorry English folks… Guess I was just following along with the crowd and didn’t think it all through.

Sorry dude I've already begun extradition proceedings.

This sounds like a bar though. Our bars are open til like 2-4am, here. Pubs are a different thing - you don't get the sort of live music you're describing with a big crowd in a British pub. It's difficult to describe to non-Brits/Europeans but there's a difference between pubs and bars over here. You'd never go to a pub to spend the entire night with the intention of getting fucked up, partying and dancing.

Ok l think I got what you are saying.

When I was over there awhile back the only place we went was to a bar in the hotel we were at. It was more like what you are talking about. Just drinks and a dart board and a billiard table no music. The locals came to drink and talk. Some played darts but I never saw anyone at the table, it was off in the corner area. That would considered a pub, correct?

It is illegal to drink in the streets but we still do it. In Las Vegas it is legal to drink in the streets

That's a hotel bar lol. Slightly different

Well I wish I had went to one when I was over there the couple of times I was. I was with fighters and it was back in the late 80s and 90s. We did some sight seeing but I don't remember going to what I guess you would call a pub. The person that was showing us around after the fights did take us to a club to meet females and a few drinks. I found out back then anyway the girls just loved my southern accent I got more attention there then any club I was at here for sure.
