Like all other bars, Irish pubs worldwide have to be staffed by Aussies. Them's the rules.

Why have I never seen an Australian working in a pub outside Australia?

Most pubs in central London have staff from Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, from the sounds of things. Try the pubs around Oxford St.

Can't help feeling they have the rum end of the deal; our young 'uns go backpacking and work in beach bars in somewhere warm for a year, whilst they end up serving miserable tourists in London!

So it's a pattern specific to a very small area of the country that relatively few people regularly go to?

To me, being surrounded by drunk middle-class Londoners sounds like the considerably lesser of two evils.

Au contraire, mon ami. drunk, middle-class Londoners don't drink around Oxford St. Like I say, it's tourists.

Oh I see. Still sounds preferable to pissed-up beach rats in Kingscliff.

why is it you assume that everyone who goes to the pub gets drunk every time?

Maybe he's just unlucky?

I think it's fair to say that people generally get drunk in places where alcoholic beverages are available. However, I've been to hundreds of pubs and have never been drunk in a single one.

Not everyone gets drunk, some can control themselves :icon_lol:

I'm aware of this. They do seem to be in the minority however.

I have been drunk many times and have never got into trouble with the police, fellow supporters or anything. Ever.

Thank you.

I will pop it alongside my collection of badges and the woggle I stole from a cub scout.

:icon_eek:

I bet that cub scout descended into a life of petty crime after being traumatised by that.




The only thing with being really drunk is that you sometimes do things that in hindsight aren't a good thing............or on the rare occasion they are the best thing you could do without knowing you are doing it!
