>"The Pub with no Beer" with its lyrics so evocative of the Irish countryside<

I do wonder whether such an obviously nonsensical description might actually have been tongue-in-cheek, lampooning the phenomenon which Emma was objecting to. Emma, where did you find that one?

Otherwise I entirely endorse the postings from Young Buchan 06 Feb 10 - 09:08 AM and Tootler 11 Feb 11 - 04:58 PM.
