That's the type of pub / bar I avoid when abroad along with anything that says British or English.

There was an exception in Florida, when we were taken to a British café for a full breakfast, tea from a teapot served in mugs and a lot of chat from the Yorkshire lass who owned and ran it.

There's a nice bit of irony in Irish pubs serving English Breakfast.

Seeing as Saint Patrick was English.

This little known facts causes a lot of annoyance in the USA when you point it out.

I see your boat has got a lot bigger since I last saw a photo of it.

What have you been feeding it on???

It’s a big San Lorenzo...although it actually looked small....because it was parked next to a 130 ft rocket ship

They are quite nice inside…..our local even has books on the shelves………..Spanish bars can be a bit utilitarian

Yes, but quite often all the decoration, including the signs, displays and possibly even the books are all plastic...

Yes even the beams

Yes even the beams

The first faux Irish pub I drank in was in Africa, 25 years ago

 

[billskip]

Yes even the beams

Yes, I remember a pub in Cobham Surrey
Fitting those, they looked so real but were feather light made of expanded polystyrene ..that was back in 1976.

Yes….we went to sea today….unfortunately grey skies, grey sea and an uncomfortable swell from the wrong direction meant we headed home….
Winter can have some of the best boating days…unfortunately we aren’t quite there yet.
The Cummins engineers are coming on Thursday for the annual service of the generator and engine…I seriously hope they don’t insist on a test drive…because the forecast is looking grim

Beautiful sunny day in port…the Cummins engineers are doing the annual service on the engine and generator…should be a blustery day according to the forecast
