Having dinner in a pub and there are two women seated across from us. They decide to have tea after dinner. So they ask for tea. The waitress asks them what type (not what brand) and they both agree they want PG Tips. The waitress is of course dumbfounded. She has never heard of this type of tea. She goes to check and returns saying they do not have PG Tips. They have Earl Grey, Chamomile and some English Breakfast. These two women blow a gasket and start demanding what type of pub does not carry PG Tips? They are rude about it. This is America. Pubs are not legally bound to carry tea let alone PG Tips. Not everybody like PG Tips. I myself am very partial to Yorkshire Gold.
To your comment "What kind of British Pub does not have British Tea?" Tea is NOT British! It is not grown there! It is not harvested there nor is it always packaged and boxed there. It is imported by British tea merchants!
There were firemen at the intersection with their boots in hand dancing for money. Yes these charming men were dancing right there in the intersection for money so I gave them some. Or I should say I demanded my date give me a dollar. He did!
While at dinner I ordered the beer special it was some concoction called Staropramen and it was served with an orange slice. It was very golden and cloudy. Tasted of toasted wheat anda bit of citrus. It was like drinking summertime. The beer is created from a recipe first created in 1884 in Prague. Delicious!!
Yesterday we passed through Flatonia. What kind of name for a city is that? No it is not flat. Flatonia was established in 1873. It is named after a pioneer merchant named F. W. Flato. It was an important stop for the San Antonio - Arkansas Railway and the San Antonio - Galveston Railway. Flatonia became a thriving city with the building of a Swift meat packing plant, ice factory, and cotton gins. I believe his name is Frederick Wilhelm Flato.
Dear male creature in the red truck...TURN ALready!!!!!
