Ham & Eggs

[James Curry]

Anyone remember a pub in Antwerp Ham & Eggs it was a Maes Pils pub. It was not far from Antwerp dry docks.
Don't ask me why but it came to me last night for no paticular reason.
The more I thought about it the more I did recall some good times in there.
It was not far from the Antwerp Docks Hotel.
Memories, don't ask me what happened yesyerday but more and more I get flashbacks these days, it come be a smell that triggers a flashback.

Another one that comes to mind was the Elephant Bar in Antwerp city centre. Trying to think of any bars I can remember in Rotterdam,non spring to mind. Not my favourite port, but I suppose that was really down to fact that Rotterdam was more or less completely flattened during the war so no doubt the character pubs along with some iconic buildings.

Four of us got drunk in Rotterdam then went to the biggest pub I was ever in, it was during the big floods in the 50s where the Dams burst, It was only when a person asked us to move out of their seat that we found out we where in Rotterdam Cathedral.

Worse still in Sweden then a bloody dry country.
Only way to et a beer was to drink the local 'near beer' all of about minus 1% alcohol.
To get a glass of wine you would need to eat in a hotel.

Now things have changed, pubs on every corner.

#9 John that is to keep the illegal migrants happy, Fridays prayers and a few pints after.
