The Pub is truely the centre of the universe for most Brits and it's incredible that they will drop 60GBP (let's 3 pints a night at 4GBP a pop) on not getting drunk but getting fat and mainly hanging around with other fat guys talking shit.
Working in Birmingham I amazed to find pubs packed every single night after 5. In Australia, most people won't go anywhere near a pub from Sunday night to Friday night. Some young guns might go out on a Wednesday or Thursday but only in the cities. Australians earning the middle spectrum of wage generally have a lot more disposable cash than their British counterparts as well. Where on earth do they get the cash from?
I gotta say though, I really loved Yorkshire. It was brilliant being able to find places that do 2GBP pints.
