If anybody needed proof that photo opps of #Tories pouring themselves pints was always a con: Tory funders despise #pubs and will happily force them to close down to grab more money that wasn’t theirs in the first place https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/03/the-billionaires-have-won-english-pubs-forced-to-close-after-owners-demand-full-rent-for-lockdown

The scourge of sludge grey! This lovely pub in Ayr, regarded by the CAMRA heritage pub experts as of national interest, has painted all its century plus old woodwork sludge grey and now it looks like every other corporate pub.

It's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion time! I was researching British pubs earlier today and discovered this excellent list https://www.getthedata.com/open-pubs With a bit of jiggery-pokery you can use this to build a list of all the words used in pub names in the UK. So, here's your question: which colour is referred to most frequently in British pub names?

Quebec’s language watchdog says a Celtic pub in Montreal may have to change its sign now and again in two years to comply with laws regarding the use of languages other than French by businesses.

Two Guinness beer toucan posters featuring English words were also targeted. One came down, the other now has an English translation next to it.

Five toucans, each carrying two pints of beer on its beak, are shown flying, with the words: "Lovely day for a Guinness."

Cheeseboard time.

I rather hope we can find a centre-of-Nottingham pub tomorrow which does decent cheeseboards. Anyone out there on the Fediverse want to recommend somewhere please?

Racists upset that their racist behaviour has led to people calling them racist.

Sad to note this pub has won multiple awards from CAMRA, even while all this racist stuff was going on.

Top pub tip: If the wallpaper is torn, simply staple it back to the wall. No one will ever notice...

P'nawn da pawb! Been here a while, finally doing an #introduction.

I'm a Brummie in Caernarfon. Loved Wales since #Aberystwyth Uni, moved back after time away working in London. Horrors of pandemic aside, remote working means I can finally live somewhere I want to be!

#liberal, interested in #books, fiction or non-fiction, #folklore, good #pubs, #whisky and #beer, messing with #tech now and again, #running less regularly than I'd like, #publictransport, and the great #outdoors. #dysgucymraeg

To help some of the newcomers make connections: name things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost/repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
