About meWhy we went.
Me and Minoru in a pub near our hotel in London. We went to a few of these during the time in England and Scotland. Good beer (and yes, it was a bit warm from time to time) and I managed to try a few brews I haven’t seen much of before. I wasn’t really up on the whole tipping and/or “have a pint for yourself” system, so I tended just to go with the “keep the change” school of ale-ordering. It seemed to work all right.
In Edinburgh the pubs—and all the restaurants, too—were nice since they’ve all been smoke-free since March this year. Smokers go outside and do their thing on the sidewalks. This also seemed to be working well, but I wonder about the really cold months. The local paper had an article claiming that income was down 2% in some bars and 16% in bingo parlors due to the smoking ban, but as a nonsmoker I can’t say I shed a tear while I sipped my Deuchar’s IPA in the clean air of that one place on the Royal Mile. Mmmmm.
