You’re missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.
Road trip?
Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.
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
Edit, and then 3 or 4 if THIS is to believed (and those other two appear to have moved from Burnley to Liverpool, and Islington to Highgate)
Why so empty on the northern part? Non British 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?
The sheep were tired of getting fleeced…
I think they’d say the same.
Underrated comment right here
I think it’s mountains?
That doesn’t normally stop us, but barely anyone lives in the highlands.
damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.
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.
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.
The Shetlands and Orkneys are also missing entirely. So there’s a few more for sure.
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!
Mildly appropriate username. Clearly, they cropped it out because you’ve taken it for the king of Norway.
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.
Looks more like a bar. Never says pub that I saw.
Skye is beautiful though. Worth the ferry if you’re in the area.
There are several pubs in Skye, I visited a few last year.
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.
Skye is actually close enough that you can drive over there by bridge
I prefer driving by car.
How big is the bridge?
Less than a kilometre long
Yep, that’s hardly an island, haha!
Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.
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
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
Good.
But at least that bastard Hans Sprechter didn’t rise to power.
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
I’d be interested to see the alcoholism rates over history compared to the US. That’s a lot of pubs, but I have a feeling the rates are lower there.
Found a random graph that might tell part of the story. I’ve always heard that people drink more heavily in Europe than the US.
What happened in the 80s?
Maybe just more health awareness? I bet that’s when smoking started dropping off too.
The cocaine was amazing.
MADD was founded, so maybe that had something to do with it? But that was in the US, Canada, and Brazil, so I’m not sure what Europe’s deal was, unless they just decided that those in the other side of the pond were onto something.
The massive increase in cocaine usage could have also been a factor. But it’s commonly paired with alcohol so I don’t know how much coke usage would affect alcohol consumption, if at all. But maybe enough people thought that it was good enough to use on its own that they felt the need to drink less. But this is all speculation and again I don’t know if any of this applies to Europe, given that the CIA was responsible for helping make the drug be so widely available in the US back then.
I’m doing my part!
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
There’s seems to be a mistake: The northern portion of Éire, also known as Ireland, is erroneously included in this chart of UK pubs. Please fix this.
Did you mean Éire?
Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed. Fixed it.
👍
Ireland is not a lake. Please fix this
Happy to see some of the unoriginal shitposts from Reddit that have been posted over and over for years making their way to Lemmy.
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.
Says someone that’s never posted anything at all
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
This comment is just as unoriginal
