Looks like you UK folks are getting a taste of the kind of crap that keeps people like me out of our bars. Overpriced slop, loud mouth clods with a vocabulary limited to one syllable words, and the "music", my God what a f*****g racket!

Ian Robb hit it on the head with his "Rose & Crown"

...for an arm and a leg they will fill up your glass,
with a half pint of mixture of ollege and gas
Oh what have they done to the old Rose & Crown?
The Ship, The King's Arms, and The World Upside Down...
For oak, brass and leather and a pint of the best,
Fade away like the sun as it sinks in the west.

Times change my friends, and we either adjust or it will roll right over us.
I often feel like a dinosaur stumbling around, looking for the tar pits...
