Yet another long haul? Your carbon bootprint must be coming along
nicely I

My other half and I will probably be going to the States later this
year
to visit friends. I *would* row the Atlantic, but I'm a bit out of
practice and I suspect I'd lose puff before I got out of sight of the
land.

Or alternatively don't go. They can't be close friends if they cleared
off

to live 4000 miles away.

Who says they cleared off..? They were born there. What, I can't make
friends with people in other countries now..?

Perhaps you have a different definition of friends. For me a friend is
someone
who I can phone

Apparently, phone wires extend beyond Little England.

and meet down the pub,

That must reduce the available pool significantly

Especially as Neil has previously told us he doesn't drink beer or go to
the pub.

And when did I say that Billy?

Have you forgotten already?

Tbh most pubs these days are now just family (ie you get to enjoy

I
doubt it would affect many of them as they can make more profit selling
coffee
for 3 quid a cup. The old style boozer pub is long gone except maybe in a
few
places here and there.

I take it you don't visit Wetherspoon pubs?

No idea. I tend not to take much notice of the bewery name when we drop in.

It's not a brewery.

Fine, I don't take much notice of the conglomorate owners name when we drop
in.

I take it that you're not a beer drinker, then?

Like cigarettes, beer is something that you have to aquire a taste for
because
its so digusting. I never bothered.
