The stuff they drink in The Rover's is actually cold tea! I'm thinking of turning to the harder stuff myself...

You don't want to move here, country is going to the dogs. We've used the bonanza of the North Sea and the largesse from the City to invest in tat from the Far East and vastly expand the size of the State. We've been at it in a dedicated way for 25 years now and the process is almost complete with the nationalisation of the banks today.

The only thing an Englishman has left to turn to is a decent pint of bitter... I shall be imbibing copius amounts this following week (although I'll be in Wales where they seem to lack any brewing ability) and avoiding looking at my brokerage account.

Thanks for the info (I think your character might go down well in Coro...) and good luck.
