\"My<\/a>

My home for 8 nights. I was so used to being told that things tasted differently in England that on a previous pub outing \u00a0with family I’d drunk 1\/2 glass of lemonade before mentioning that it tasted odd. It was odd – no syrup had been added. The same thing happened in my pub and the drink was taken, with bad grace, by the barmaid \u00a0for her to have an\u00a0about turn when her\u00a0taste showed I was\u00a0right. The equipment was faulty again.<\/p><\/div>\n
