Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler I am in London

Any chance you'll be able to catch any of the Wimbledon over the next week or so? If you can, I envy you big time!

Yeah....can you bring back Wimbledon t-shirts for me a spiff?

My dad worked over there for a couple months years ago... he's a history buff so of corse he liked it but wasnt very fond of the local food selections.

Sounds like fun thou!

Hey Snippy - please keep us posted about your adventure. I would relish the opportunity to learn from your experience.

With the *possible* exception of a fresh, cask conditioned ale, they're not served at "room" temperature, but at "cellar" temperature (which is ~54 degrees farenheit).

And Ray, if you keep comparing warm Iron City to real Ale, I'm going to find a way to make sure that you spend eternity in that "chick flick" thread

Well, after our double feature tonight (mentioned in that thred), I might be OK with that. Wait a minute!!! Warm Iron City and Chick Flicks forever. Kill me now.

The beer has been cold at every bar/pub I have went to. It is the water that is served room temperature.

Snippy,

If you like Indian food, London has lots of excellent Indian restaurants. And Italian spots, too.

And you know how Tannoy started? Making foghorns! In fact, "Tannoy" has become a generic word in the U.K., like aspirin. A "tannoy" means a big, fat horn-loaded public-address speaker. We are not talking fidelity here. . .

Regards,
