Aww, but cant you go and still enjoy a non alcoholic cocktail or something?
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a little villiage pub near me, a nice one. We dont have any pubs within walking distance, we did used to have one but it looked so rough that you would never have ventured in. Thats now being turned into our new texco express (cant wait) I like village pub life, where everyone knows everyone.
