Pubbing it Again





Tonight we went as a class group to our professor's favorite pub, the Marlborough Pub. It is just a short walking distance from the centre. What a neat place!! Since it is a Friday night it was very busy. I find it interesting that at pubs here the patrons are not waited on at their table, instead the customer must go up to the bar to order drinks and food. Payment is expected at that time and it is customary to not give a tip!! This is of course much different than an American bar/pub experience.


Tonight most of us tried a famous English drink called Pimms. It is a mixture of gin, fruit, mint and lemon-lime soda; a very refreshing adult drink!
