Re: Very British

Living abroad I probably think of Old Blighty more than most and the very "Britishness" of it. I usually miss the things I can't get in Spain and one of them must of course be....roast beef and yorkshire puds !!!

Just been thinking about a Sunday roast beef and Yorkshire pudding pub lunch and it reminded me of it's essential partner ...that quintessentially British beverage....a good old pint of best bitter !!
