"Old" Europe Has More Millionaires than U.S.,
Reid wrote:
Following up to milesh I heard a rumor that many pubs close at 11pm in London? Is that really true? In the USA it varies from state to state but is generally somewhere between 1am and 3am. Hmm....that reminds me. In England, is it 11pm or 23:00? We are still trying to shake off the emergency legislation introduced in WW1! Many pubs in central London will be open later but 11.00 pm is still the general normal closing hour.(You can call it 23:00 too but 11 is usual). And a few pubs in the City of London catering more or less exclusively to office workers close as early as 9pm. |

"milesh" wrote in message ... Alot (not all) of people here love to just slam down beers quick. Beer is not considered a sipping drink like wines are. Is that not the case in Europe? A lot of best real beers are much stronger than american beers. Slamming back Theakston's Old Peculiar or Speckled Hen will lead to unfortunate consequences OTOH, most everyday beers {for example Young's Ordinary, Deuchars IPA, Greene King IPA) are, at between 3 and 4 percent ABV, considerably weaker than Anheuser-Busch Bud (5 percent); they do, however, have a great deal more flavour. Perhaps the low strength is indeed related to Brits' liking to drink large volumes of beer? |

Also works with massage parlours I'm told... |

But I think you are right in that they are suited to an evenings drinking in a pub.

And a few pubs in the City of London catering more or less exclusively to office workers close as early as 9pm. and at weekends, but that is about demand, not rules. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walking, Wasdale, Thames path, London etc "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain, food and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Um, beer is a cold, malty-bitter drink with froth on top. Grog is hot water with rum in it. Quite a difference, in my view. "cool" and no froth! :-) -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walking, Wasdale, Thames path, London etc "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Spain, food and walking "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
