Scots, Irish, and any other nationality’s.

1. A Scotsman and his wife walked past a swanky restaurant.
“ Did you smell that delicious food?” . She asked. “ It smells absolutely incredible !”.
He thought “ What the hell…..I’ll treat her !”.
So they walked past it again.

2. Menu outside a pub.” 7 Course Irish Meal “. 6 Pints and a Potato.

The charm of Irish Pub Hospitality ……2 Irishmen went into a pub in Dublin and asked for 2 pints Guinness . The barman cleaning the tables said…..” Sorry, we don’t open for another hour “.
One of the men asked “ Mind if we wait ?”. “No” said the barman “ Would you like a pint while you’re waiting ?”.

3. Could be any nationality……I woke up this morning with a terrible hangover to the sound of my neighbour mowing his lawn. I was going to get up then I thought “ nah” he can mow round me.

When Iwas youngI was poor, but after years of hard work. I’m no longer young…JS

Poor old Paddy, what would we do without him.

I see some 600 restaurants have closed in Ireland over the last 12 months.
Obviously the 6 pints was Ok but the spuds put them off.

Get the bus to next village £2.10 for Doom Bar Bitter in the Dee Hotel , Wetherspoons cheap beer and crap food.

One report suggests that by 2060 there could be as few as 1,000 pubs left in UK.

Price of beer, drink driving laws and cost of living pressure is put as the reason.
No mention of a change in population, many of whom do not drink.

I know looking around many parts of London some of the biggest pubs there were are now boarded up.

Southampton, hard to get a beer there now, in the main street, now mainly vehicle free, we only found two places.
One wine bar and the only pub of sorts the 'Slug and Lettuce'.

The good old JB now boarded up, and only a couple in the back streets

Here in Oz you need to go 'up country' to find a pub, in the towns and big cities all there are now are clubs with an occasional wine bar.
But beer sales are holding up according to latest figures.

I see to add insult to injury some beers are being watered down from 4% to 3.8% to cut the tax level.
Will save a bout 23 P per can. So far only some Dutch beer, but how long before others consider it?

It was tried here in Oz, but we did not like it so back to full strength.

allegedly !!

[James Curry]

Agree with allegedly.
Go into any town centre and you will see plenty on the toot after Friday prayers especially up around the Bradford, Rochdale areas.

Ah yes the make believe followers of that man.

The area of London is in the northern suburbs where the mosques are in abundance.
But the mayor of London is one of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the reasons the Irish became followers JC.
Paddy read the slimsum book and then read the Gospels.When Paddy got to bit about turning water into wine he thought that sounds a better deal.
Under slimsums rules No beer & no wild wild women. Not even a bacon butty or a pigs trotter so sod that.
A lot of RC churches have a Socail club on the church grounds , handy that for a swift Guinness after mass
