A Good Pub is Hard to Find

While in the UK i have been on a quest to find the perfect British pub.  There is nothing i enjoy more in this world then good, rich, warm pub food.  Where else would i find such delicacies like fish and chips, sheaperds pie and bangers and mash then jolly old England.  However, what i’ve found has not been exactly what i was expecting.  While the food has been warm and delicious it’s the atmosphere that seems strangely off.  Everything is so bright and clean.  The music is either pop songs from the 90s or dance songs from the early 2000s.

I was about to give up hope when i ambled into a pub called Blackbirds in Earl’s Court.  At first i was disappointed by the bright lights and sound of George Michael’s pleading voice telling me to “hold onto his freedom.”  All was lost.  My time in London was almost up and Blackbirds was my last chance.  It was then that four Irish guys sat behind me at a table barely meant for one.  I could barely understand i word they said (or yelled, rather) but it completely gave the atmosphere a pub-like feeling.
