I guess you are swapping one form of brain rot for another.

I can never understand why Americans drink so much coffee. I'd be seriously off my tree by lunchtime if I had as much as I have seen many LS'ers drink.
Then I guess we Brits still drink an awful lot of tea even if the Coffee lobby wants otherwise.

I don't particularly like coffee and never partook of the coffee house camaraderie that was common in the 50's and 60's when I was a teenager.

So for social acceptance and an appreciation of something that has so much variety to offer, I stuck to wine bars and pubs.
Always found that in pubs and wine bars it was much easier to spot the BS artists.
Especially after a great bottle of a Jimmy Watson house red.[;)]

I'll join in.

Best wishes,

Tony Walsham

Cask ale, the finest drink known to mankind. 'Warm beer' to the rest of the world but nectar to us Brits. Have a good festival Tulyar and enjoy the offerings.
Cheers,
Kim

Talking off which, the old station house at Dinmore, in Herefordshire, England is up for sale right now. Not only is it beside the Hereford - Shrewsbury rail line (at the southern entrance to Dinmore Tunnel) but there's a pub next door!

I'm a real ale man myself, will be helping at the annual Worcester Beer Festival (that's Worcester, England) which is from Thursday 11th August to Saturday 13th on Worcester Racecourse which is only 10 minutes walk from Worcester Foregate Street train station. (see http://www.camra-worcs.freeuk.com/branch/festival.html)

This is the spirit, get everyone smashed out of their heads and then we can talk about garden railroads and no one will remember anything about it so we can then do it again. Now we are on the right tracks!

Copious quantities of Grand Marnier, in a snifter, a glass, a mug, doesn’t matter.

Don't be sorry. You've come up with the best suggestion for an off topic forum yet. Have you ever visited the coffee houses in the other trains.com forums? If coffee produces that kind of drivel we don't need a coffee house. If you do open a pub I'll visit regularly.I'm fussy about my tipples though and only drink beer, wine and spirits.
Cheers
Bob
