What Does The Inside Of The Farang Pub Really Look Like? To You?

[OldChinaHam]

Have you often thought while sitting at your computer,

What does the inside of the Farang Pub actually look like?

How many tables, who sits where

Is there a place for darts?

Is it Smokey inside?

Would you be ashamed to take your wife?

So I am wondering if anyone here would be willing to come up with a few descriptions or photos or drawings or images of what they picture in their own minds when they address the Pub Audience on their computers?

Most of you probably don't know Larson.

Just about sums it up................

[OldChinaHam]

Can't be this though.

People here are too bright.

Also, pretty much the wrong sex, I suppose.

Two types of members you will meet in the Pub.

Pubs are so varied,it would be difficult to give a definative answer or description,however here is one type of Traditional Pub,of which there are still plenty around.

It should be remembered no two Pubs are the same,and the Atmosphere and Ambiance will be different from Pub to Pub. And usally attract different classes of people. In the UK the Pub trade saw 5,000 Pubs close down in one year,due to the smoking ban a few years ago,and high taxes,now there are much less than 50,000 Pubs Countrywide.The Average Pint of Beer,is now around £3.50, (161 depending on what area of the Country you live in.

Yes, but does healthy debate over differing philosophy survive without lasting rancor?

Something now almost unheard of other places.

I can hardly see anything in here for the smoke.

I'm reminded of when I was a much younger man than I am today, and I was travelling round attending interviews; I'd stay in second rate hotels near to factories and out-of-town offices, and my fellows at the bar would generally be professional travellers, who would have long discussions on trivia like - "Who was second on the bill in Casablanca".

And I'm also reminded of a fellow Scot, I'll not bore you with the whole story, but suffice to say he wiz twenty-two year in Hong Kong wi' Swire pacific. D'ye ken Swire Pacific?

Anyway, I must've come home from a different pub, judging from where I woke up...

Often too smokey to see much, in the Pub?

Swire Group, yes, and Dragons.

Or ganglong (港龍) as we like to say.

[OldChinaHam]

Unfortunately not enough of this though.

And most things were even better before.
