How to Behave In An English Pub

Jody posted this at 8:01 am under food & drink, humor, reference

If I ever go to England I plan on studying HOWTO: Drink like an Englishman, in an English pub:

when being served, your order should end with the word please. Once your change has been returned, a thankyou is required. Don’t embarrass the barstaff by leaving your change; if you want to tip then offer to get the bar[wo]man a drink.

Remember, gentlemen drink pints… Ordering anything other than a pint as your first few drinks will have you labelled as a big girly poof with limp wrists.

    The next time I insult someone I plan to say that they are a big girly poof with limp wrists. I will test this on a big girly poof with limp wrists first, so I don’t look stupid as if I didn’t know one when I saw one.

    I included that quote JUST for that insult. Maybe “poof”s are only found in English pubs.

    I’d like to see a small manly poof, too many big girly poofs running around. Why limp wrists? Apparently popeye forarm strength is highly praised in Englishland.

    Was (is) Popeye British?

    I don’t know, but apparently he’s their national symbol. I bet the greatest honor is to grow up on a spinach farm and growing the most many wrists in the universe.

    I betcha Popeye loves haggis more than spinach. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the haggis hurling champion.
