Road trip?
Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.
Meh, I reckon I could have a Guinness in each one before closing time.
This is missing a few, there’s more than that in the rural regions of Scotland.
Yeah, this map comes up on the Web periodically and we Scots point out that it’s lacking (a lot) in Scotland.
Bleeding English erasing Scottish pub culture smh /s
You’re missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.
Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.
It’ll be interesting to remove the Red Lion and see the difference
I looked it up and thought it was a franchise at first, just very creative and varied about it. Some of them looked really nice, too.
Long long ago, pubs didn’t have names but they just had signs. People would call the pub whatever was on the sign. “The King’s Head” for pubs with a portrait of a king, “The Wheat Sheaf” for ones with a picture of some wheat or barley, etc.
Lots of old pubs displayed the Stuart coat of arms as a show of loyalty to King James I/VI and his heirs, which is a heraldic red lion. Hence why so many pubs have the same name even though they’re all ancient and unrelated.
Very interesting to know!
Great! Now do every bar in Wisconsin…
Good attempt, far from being all of them though. For example in Appleton they can’t hand out more liquor licenses because of the sheer amount of bars there.
Anyone can edit OpenStreetMap. Basemap is used by Strava, NextDoor, many others.
The bars you have in mind might be encoded as pubs. Query with both: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2287
Happy to see some of the unoriginal shitposts from Reddit that have been posted over and over for years making their way to Lemmy.
First time seeing this one. Did you know images are often shared across multiple social media platforms?
Be the change you want to see in the world
Says someone that’s never posted anything at all
It was my first time seeing it =/
I was one of today’s 10,000, too. I liked it.
¯\(ツ)/¯
Me too!
It wasn’t mine, but things don’t have to be 100% new and original for me to enjoy them.
Touch it.
This better not awaken anything in me.
Embrace your inner Hank Hill.
This comment is just as unoriginal
Nope, incomplete. Here’s one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that’s left bare (Skye).
I’m curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day’s walk from a pub.
Looks more like a bar. Never says pub that I saw.
Skye is beautiful though. Worth the ferry if you’re in the area.
Could you explain to my Canadian ass what the difference is? Haha. The only thing it seems to mean here is that they try to be classier and serve full entrees.
An inn is basically a pub with rooms you can stay in. Not quite sure what makes a place a bar rather than a pub in the UK, but generally a pub was built as one and a bar is in a generic retail/restaurant space.
There are several pubs in Skye, I visited a few last year.
Skye is actually close enough that you can drive over there by bridge
How big is the bridge?
Less than a kilometre long
Yep, that’s hardly an island, haha!
I prefer driving by car.
The Shetlands and Orkneys are also missing entirely. So there’s a few more for sure.
Mildly appropriate username. Clearly, they cropped it out because you’ve taken it for the king of Norway.
They’ve chopped off most of Caithness too. Thurso has pubs AND a distillery. John o’ Groats has a distillery too, AND a brewery.
Freedom and whisky gang thegither, Tak aff your dram!
Shetland and Orkney. Nobody who lives there says Shetlands or Orkneys. But yes there are a few for sure but not all of the islands have one.
Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.
I think they’d say the same.
Underrated comment right here
The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.
well, why don’t the sheep have pubs?
Those are called shrubs, and there are lots of them.
The sheep were tired of getting fleeced…
Scotland is way less densely populated than England
I think it’s mountains?
That doesn’t normally stop us, but barely anyone lives in the highlands.
Why does it include part of Ireland? That’s a completely different country.
Assuming you are not trolling and actually curious, Northern Ireland is part of the UK since the Partition of Ireland in 1921.
i have terrible news, you’ve left the good timeline (the Easter-1916 timeline) and are in ours now
Does the Ottoman Empire still stand, brother?
I’m afraid the Sick Man of Europe is now the Dead Man of Europe
But at least that bastard Hans Sprechter didn’t rise to power.
Good.
Country…yes. Nation…no.
How many of them are called The Winchester?
I don’t know, but that’s where I would go both to wait out the apocalypse and for a date.
2, if this is to be believed
damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.
What’s the deal with the hole in the cloud of pins near the England / Scotland border?
it’s actually one Big Super Pub that fills up the whole of Northumberland
Looks like it might be the North Pennines, which is basically a national park
Internet teaching me Ireland not in UK… either that or all their pubs blew up.
Northern Ireland belongs to the UK, the Republic of Ireland doesn’t.
NI is part of the UK, for now.
Let’s hope for an Irish reunion.
I’m really torn on the whole thing. I don’t want there to be a barrier between the British and Irish, but I also see the appeal of Ireland being whole. We’ve come so far in my lifetime and I like we’ve ended up in this situation where the two countries are just open to each other. It’s a really strong statement given where things were less than 50 years ago.
My own experience is that the majority are happy with the current division. Compared to “the troubles” the current status is wonderful.
Yanks seem to be keen to go back to that so they can fund terrorism again.
The “again” at the end of your comment makes me wonder to what extent you believe the US was involved with propping up the IRA. They smuggled guns from America but I haven’t seen anything credible beyond that.
Not just guns. The Semtex came from somewhere.
yeah and that barely counts for anything, anyone can just come to the US and buy guns at the grocery store
Not only arms, but also money was raised and sent back to fund IRA activities.
Sure… Not all Americans, but IRA funding and support was pretty widespread in places such as New York. (Not saying it’s not understandable why people with Irish heritage, or Americans in general would support the IRA, just that US support for them was a very helpful lifeline.)
Edit: also smuggling guns into a conflict zone to arm one side is quite substantial help.
England ⊂ Great Britain ⊂ United Kingdom ⊂ British isles
Great Britain is England, Scotland, Wales.
United Kingdom is Great Britain + Northern Ireland.
British isles are UK and Ireland.
Remember that Ireland and Northern Ireland both make up the island of Ireland. The Irish live in (the republic of) Ireland and the Northern Irish live in the northern part of Ireland (Northern Ireland), which is part of the UK.
Hope that helps.
Ireland doesn’t have pubs. They have bars. Which serve the same function as pubs and look like pubs but they are bars.
Ireland totally has pubs. I think you might be thinking of Boston.
Boston is wonderful, every other door has booze behind it. You can stumble down the street and somehow end up in the same place everywhere you go.
“get me to god’s country”
