To Pimms or not to Pimms????
Discussion
At the risk of facing ridicule (most of which no doubt suggesting that i bat for the opposition or am particularly limp of wrist) am I (at the age of 34) within my rights to be drinking Pimms in the local??
I get a few strange looks from some folk, as it appears to be seen as an upper crust type of drink.
I cant do Lager, and they dont do a decent Ale. Guinness is fine for 5 or 6 pints, but a little heavy in warmer weather.
So, am I normal to be suggesting a Pimms, or is everyone going to suggest i am a puddle jumper????
You use the word Hive very wisely my friend.
Its called the Beehive, and its a good old fashioned drinkers pub. Not much in the way of food, not many 18 year olds tearing the place apart, and thankfully, not too many chavs either, which suprises me that i get the reaction that i do.
The sun, a jug of pimms and some mates is only beaten by the sun, a jug of pimms, some mates..................and the Lancaster flying over.

Not a thing wrong with Pimms.
Is your local a working man's club or similar hive of leftyism?
Not a problem at all, pour in a bit of Gin aswell and it is lovely. Although, i have yet to this year ask the barkeep at my local in town for 4 pints of stella and a pimms..Is your local a working man's club or similar hive of leftyism?

Me, the missus, my mate and his wife did 8 large jugs (more like buckets) of Pimms one Saturday afternoon last summer (the day it was sunny, in fact) and I even got them to put more shots in them as they seemed a little 'weak'.
Never been so comletly feked up by drink, ever. Absolutly smashed, all four of us (there were other drinks, pints and later champaine).
Brilliant day out.
Pimms, outside. Sorted. Not posh.

Thats where your problem lies. Good old fashioned drinkers would look down on Pimms as toff's drink. Drunk by the southern nancy boys who do "The Season". Also an old fashioned drinkers pub would do a decent ale. Have you tried their mild?Its called the Beehive, and its a good old fashioned drinkers pub.

Always has Gin added.
It wouldnt be right not to.
Had one off a mate who was drinking it made with Smirnoff Ice instead of lemonade.
Tasted rough, and by the looks of him, fairly potent too.
Cheers for all of the input though- puts my mind at ease that i am a/. not alone b/. not one 'of them'

A nice alternative lemonade in Pimms is Champagne.
To top this off, if you move on to Long Island Ice Teas later in the day, substitute the coke in them for champagne to make it a Beverly Hills Iced Tea - ruination in a glass.
no mojito??To top this off, if you move on to Long Island Ice Teas later in the day, substitute the coke in them for champagne to make it a Beverly Hills Iced Tea - ruination in a glass.
Royal Mojitos?
I'm liking that...
