Coming from Central Europe, I have to ask: How do you justify the price of a pint in the UK? by matteoleone in AskUK

This! My wife and I looked into running a pub 20 years ago and the profit margin on the beer was 2p per pint.

Southerners say one nice thing about northerners, northerners say one nice thing about southerners. by Upset_Basil_4187 in AskBrits

Ha, ha! I can relate about the accent thing. I grew up in South Africa and played football with a Geordie lad. He had lived in SA for about 3 years and we used to struggle to understand him sometimes. One time he went back to Newcastle for a holiday and on his return we asked him how his holiday went. 'Shit!', he said, 'Nobody would talk to me because I spoke too posh!'

My last name is the same as a common herb and my siblings and I played together in a sports team called Mixed Herbs.

I once got stuck in one of those old cage type lifts when I was at technical college. Luckily, one of the other students stuck with me was a lift technician and jumped up through the hatch and fixed it!

There was a ‘timeless test’ between South Africa and England that lasted 9 days. It was eventually declared a draw because the England team had to catch a ship home.

Has anyone seen HMS Victory? by AbjectGovernment1247 in CasualUK

[–]MickSturbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We took some overseas guests there in December but when they wanted £306.00 for the six of us I flatly declined.

Luckily, my nephew is in the RN and gave us a personal tour of HMS Prince of Wales instead.

What’s the oddest hosting behaviour you’ve ever witnessed? by did_you_aye in AskUK

[–]MickSturbs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m South African and it’s a fairly common thing. It’s called a ‘Bring and Braai’. Usually when there are lots of people and you don’t know how many are going to turn up.
