Mmm. Pubby.
The third place for the users of feddit.uk
Happy to see some of the unoriginal shitposts from Reddit that have been posted over and over for years making their way to Lemmy.
Touch it.
This better not awaken anything in me.
Embrace your inner Hank Hill.
This comment is just as unoriginal
It was my first time seeing it =/
It wasn’t mine, but things don’t have to be 100% new and original for me to enjoy them.
I was one of today’s 10,000, too. I liked it.
¯\(ツ)/¯
Me too!
Says someone that’s never posted anything at all
First time seeing this one. Did you know images are often shared across multiple social media platforms?
Be the change you want to see in the world
Road trip?
Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.
Meh, I reckon I could have a Guinness in each one before closing time.
You’re missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.
How many of them are called The Winchester?
2, if this is to be believed
Edit, and then 3 or 4 if THIS is to believed (and those other two appear to have moved from Burnley to Liverpool, and Islington to Highgate)
I don’t know, but that’s where I would go both to wait out the apocalypse and for a date.
Internet teaching me Ireland not in UK… either that or all their pubs blew up.
Remember that Ireland and Northern Ireland both make up the island of Ireland. The Irish live in (the republic of) Ireland and the Northern Irish live in the northern part of Ireland (Northern Ireland), which is part of the UK.
Hope that helps.
England ⊂ Great Britain ⊂ United Kingdom ⊂ British isles
Great Britain is England, Scotland, Wales.
United Kingdom is Great Britain + Northern Ireland.
British isles are UK and Ireland.
Northern Ireland belongs to the UK, the Republic of Ireland doesn’t.
NI is part of the UK, for now.
Let’s hope for an Irish reunion.
I’m really torn on the whole thing. I don’t want there to be a barrier between the British and Irish, but I also see the appeal of Ireland being whole. We’ve come so far in my lifetime and I like we’ve ended up in this situation where the two countries are just open to each other. It’s a really strong statement given where things were less than 50 years ago.
My own experience is that the majority are happy with the current division. Compared to “the troubles” the current status is wonderful.
Yanks seem to be keen to go back to that so they can fund terrorism again.
The “again” at the end of your comment makes me wonder to what extent you believe the US was involved with propping up the IRA. They smuggled guns from America but I haven’t seen anything credible beyond that.
yeah and that barely counts for anything, anyone can just come to the US and buy guns at the grocery store
Ireland doesn’t have pubs. They have bars. Which serve the same function as pubs and look like pubs but they are bars.
Ireland totally has pubs. I think you might be thinking of Boston.
Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.
Scotland is way less densely populated than England
I think it’s mountains?
That doesn’t normally stop us, but barely anyone lives in the highlands.
I think they’d say the same.
Underrated comment right here
The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.
well, why don’t the sheep have pubs?
Those are called shrubs, and there are lots of them.
The sheep were tired of getting fleeced…
Great! Now do every bar in Wisconsin…
Good attempt, far from being all of them though. For example in Appleton they can’t hand out more liquor licenses because of the sheer amount of bars there.
I’d be interested to see the alcoholism rates over history compared to the US. That’s a lot of pubs, but I have a feeling the rates are lower there.
Found a random graph that might tell part of the story. I’ve always heard that people drink more heavily in Europe than the US.
I’m doing my part!
What happened in the 80s?
Maybe just more health awareness? I bet that’s when smoking started dropping off too.
The cocaine was amazing.
Sample output from my D&D pub name generator:
Goblin and Squirrel
Golden Pot
Sleepy Troll
Cheerful Spoon
Baldric and Frog
Green Toad
Stoat and Halberd
Goose and Halberd
Squirrel and Halberd
Goblin and Sword
Well Fed Duck
Laughing Duck
Eye and Goblin
Squirrel and Hen
Kobold and DogDunno why it likes halberds so much here. It has its moods.
It must be compensating for everyone taking glaives over halberds in D&D 5e despite having identical stats
I never met a glaive I didn’t like.
Nice, something like “the halfling Arms” could work well. “The old green troll” too.
Some of the pub names I used to frequent when younger, although many are closed down and I don’t go in pubs anymore.
- The Swan
- The Bay Horse -> The Bay -> Bar One
- British Queen
- Horse Shoe
- The Lord Raglan
- The Bee Hive
- Morning Star
- The New Swan
- The Cross
- The Brickcroft
- The The Railway
- The Victoria
- The Royal Oak -> Last Order -> The Royal Oak
- The Fleece
- The Olde Bell
I’m bored now 😂
Thanks! I don’t believe new, old/olde or horse are in my word list. Editing…
My father moved to France and opened an expat (read imigrant, they can’t use one word for themselves and use another for others) bar called the old lord raglan.
Nope, incomplete. Here’s one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that’s left bare (Skye).
I’m curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day’s walk from a pub.
Skye is actually close enough that you can drive over there by bridge
How big is the bridge?
Less than a kilometre long
I prefer driving by car.
Looks more like a bar. Never says pub that I saw.
Skye is beautiful though. Worth the ferry if you’re in the area.
Could you explain to my Canadian ass what the difference is? Haha. The only thing it seems to mean here is that they try to be classier and serve full entrees.
There are several pubs in Skye, I visited a few last year.
The Shetlands and Orkneys are also missing entirely. So there’s a few more for sure.
Why does it include part of Ireland? That’s a completely different country.
Assuming you are not trolling and actually curious, Northern Ireland is part of the UK since the Partition of Ireland in 1921.
i have terrible news, you’ve left the good timeline (the Easter-1916 timeline) and are in ours now
Does the Ottoman Empire still stand, brother?
I’m afraid the Sick Man of Europe is now the Dead Man of Europe
Good.
But at least that bastard Hans Sprechter didn’t rise to power.
North Scotland must be where people go to sober up.
damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.
