      Haha, stopped at a pub in Ayrshire, full of, presumably non-working, working class men. My mates and I felt slightly self conscious - we were the only women, and we were decked out in cycling gear. Fortunately for us, the focus of amusement changed when a posh sounding English woman came in and asked if they served green tea. To be fair, the landlord disappeared for five minutes and came back triumphantly waving a green teabag.

          How about a cup of instant and I'll stir it with a Twix?

            When I was working in Dublin I went to a Leinster v Leicester Heiniken Cup match in Donnybrook. Standing on the terracing in the freezing cold drinking a pint of Guinness whilst the Irish team stuffed the English

            Anyway, I decided to have another pint before heading home for the night in the pub next door despite it being heaving inside. It had a very long bar and it was covered in pints of Guinness. They were obviously used to the crowd coming in and were well prepared. As the pints started to disappear off the bar, more were poured and took their place until the crowd started to drift off. The staff would come round collecting glasses and if they noticed your pint had about a quarter left they asked if you wanted another poured for you so it was ready when you were.

            No-one seemed to drink lager though

              I've experienced that. The bloody Irish are like an organised-mafia at drinking.

                COFFEE shops?? Sheesh

                I wouldn't admit to that

                Pub time approaches... I'll be greeted by name with a welcoming smile and my pint will be under the beer tap before I arrive at the bar.
























                "Here's that <vnt again" they'll say, same as usual. I've tried explaining that's not actually my name
