What is it about pubs?
by Oregano @ 2008-04-26 - 18:55:19

Every country has its strong and weak points. Today I went to a lovely country pub after a walk in a spectacular copse full of bluebells.

Two things though were crazy but are widespread:

a) the use of brim measure for draft beer
b) the use of carpets on the floor

Brim measure guarantees that you spill part of the drink on the floor. Carpets guarantee that the drink gets absorbed and that the customers walk over a sticky floor. Why not have glasses that are big enough to avoid spillage combined with a rough tiled floor that is easy to keep clean without being slippery?

Carpets are fine, as long as they are two colours max, unstained and don`t still smell of cigarette smoke 2 years after smoking ban.

Very few pubs seem to fulfill even one of these criteria...

after a few drinks, no matter how high they fill the glass, there's going to be some spillage, and a tiled floor will be wet all the time. that's why, in the western US they have sawdust to absorb the spillage. but since they've outlawed smoking, i don't go to bars anymore. i just invite a few friends to my place, and we get in a good mood here.
