Will Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Now I have nothing against people having a good time, and applaud the principle of British-owned businesses in France - particularly bars and restaurants.But I saw this on another forum for English-speakers in France and felt rather uneasy.This Weekend Come on Down and Drink The Pub Dry at XXXXXStella Artois 1euro = demi Spirits 2 eurosBBQ food Weather permittingWe're changing supplier and beers.Coming SoonNewcastle Brown Ale Beamish Red Kronenburg GuinnessLooking forward to a great weekendI have never been to the place concerned, so have no reason to suppose it is anything other than well run by people who are totally at one with the local French community. But somehow it seems inevitable that, even if all goes off with no problems at all, it will only reinforce a stereotyped view of the British abroad.Of course, if you want to know where it is, just PM me.

Catalpa Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I saw this and stared at it in bemusement for a few moments. I've several friends who've been there. On sparse evidence therefore it is geared entirely towards the local British community and French locals are not much in evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owens88 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Roll out the Gary Lineker bars and 'genuine Grimsby Fish & Chips'...Though I would warmly welcome some decent ale in French bars (particularly in winter) I suspect the stuff listed is all Keg anwyay.

dwmcn Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 We have been to a very nice guingette (?sp) on the Loire with French food, music, and wine, but I'm not telling any of you drunken louts where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanche Neige Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Will,Please let me know where it is .................so that I can avoid it! It smacks of the Costa del Sol, fish and chips, full English breakfast and tea like mother makes. Now all these things are fine BUT best kept in their own place and not exported.
