@goosehd you got any German in your family history? I hear those guys are famously unfunny

I bet the person who was sitting opposite him in the pub when the genius came up with that tag line said. Oh boy, urine with the in crowd with that one......

I'll get may coat AND shut the door.....

I don’t know why you’re all so impressed, it looks like bog standard marketing to me.

Expensive though, the owner must have been feeling flush.

[NickD]

I’ll (w)see myself out…

Gotta hand it to them. That campaign really flows. Most ads are a bit crap, but this one’s the business.

[Giles]

Just up the road from here, and I missed the excitement......Gutted....

@Giles does look like quite a hostilely architecthed bench

[Giles]

Not my town but my country...

[don_pipone]

@Giles slower than Germany by that margin is just wow!

The fast shipping is starting to make sense

[Giles]

Sadly, we have more actual shops here now....

[goosehd]

@Giles …and to think that they tried to keep sailors on board the ships to keep them from trying to desert. That’s a few taverns, but maybe used as a recruitment tool.

@Giles Just out of curiosity, how many are still standing/open for business?

When I reached legal drinking age (23 years ago) my home town of Mexborough In South Yorkshire had around 27 pubs which has dwindled down to 8 or 9 in the time that’s passed.
