Cheers
Cheers!
I am writing this piece on amomentousday for England. Today, the 4th of July, thepubsare opening their doors topunters. I can imagine people are rushing to theirlocal, desperate for their favourite tipple. For me, this would be apintof beer or maybe aG and T.
The British love for the pub may bebaffling. We go with both friends and family, to socialise and relax. For example, the night before my cousin’s wedding my family went to a pubquiz. Another thing some pubs are known for isputting onlive music. So, you don’t have to go to drink, it can be to enjoy thevibe.
Welshpub-goerswill have to wait a few more weeks before they can get their freshlypulledpints. Authorities haveurgedthem not toflockto England! Meanwhile, my friends arehanging outin the pub all afternoon, buying each otherrounds. It’s great to hear "bottoms upand "my shout"again. At the end of the month, we are going on apub crawlfor my friend’s birthday. I wonder if everyone will getsmashed!
