Hey all, Mandy and I are currently building a new home which we will move into this October and we need a favor from you! Last October we fell in love with your wonderful country (and are planning a trip back) and we decided that we want to take one of our rooms in the house and make it a "British Pub" room. We are going to make it as authentic as possible with a full bar, kegerator as well as other pub fare such as a foosball table etc. One thing we really want to do is get photos of the signs of real pubs and put them up around the room. That is where you come in!! We have a few photos that we took while there but we would absolutely love it if we could get some shots of your local haunts. These will be printed in Black and white and framed. Can any of you help? Also, on top of that, we also would love some empty bottles of some of Britains finest Ales, lagers and IPA's as well as beer coasters, a photo of the Queen etc..... We would happily pay you for shipping and any other trouble that this may put you through. Please help us bring a little of your country into our home!! Would it help if I say I am a HUGE fan of Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome?? ![]() Cheers!! Mike |

Mike you could probabally get real signs as the pub trade is dying out in the uk due to the stupid smoking laws, and I dont smoke!, probabally a bit to big. re the beers send us over some cas and I will gladle send you some empty bottles, they will be full when I get them though Seriously though if around with the camera I shall take some photos.

That and the price of the actual beer! I have never actually seen a foosball table in a pub though Mike, not in England. Dartboard yes, pool table, also yes. Not foosball though! Jen. |

OK Jen, I will get a real horse hair dart board then. That actually works out better anyway as it frees up floor space!! Thanks for the advice! |

Being predominantly drunk, and a smoker I have had my fair share of pubs, will go on a pub crawl with some buds this coming weeks and collect some mats and photos for you, there is this epic Irish bar near where I live, will take some photos of the out side, but the inside is where it counts,will take some photos of that too for you. |

Let me have your address and I will send you a couple of pull pump handles that you can screw onto the edge of the bar. EVENTUALLY. Kim and I have just bought a house together and have moved in, things are a bit frought at the moment. |

Do you need a barmaid ?If so I will not send the wife 'cos she don't look like that! For an authentic 'british pub feel' you'll also need one of these just outside the room One of these to represent the village idiot One of these in the corner talking constantly about his time in the war And of course lots of these Anyway, sorry about my sense of humour; good luck with your house and room. |

Right after a heavy night the other night I have now ''acquired'' for you, some beer mats and 2 half pint glass that are modelled exactly like a real pint. with ''Carling'' embossed on the front, will take some pics for you later on. Will go on another drinking hunt this coming weekend, try and get you some more beer mats and photos. |
