First pub visit in the UK and feeling good

First time at the pub and couldn’t believe that got treated differently because Mexican (in a good way) the men liked talking about fútbol and the ladies appreciated my accent or whatever that means 😂

Probably the coolest feeling. People who said don’t come to the UK or UK people don’t like Spanish people had to be kidding!

Any recommendations for parties 😂 or should I start my own lol

I hope the locals are as lovely to you as the Mexicans in Mexico City were to my son and his friends when they were in the bars for the World Cup. He was blown away by the kindness and hospitality of everyone all enjoying the football together xx

They were very much! Especially the ladies 😂

It was a good start to the trip haha

Sounds like that might be a plan! What’s with the …. 😂

Any specifics why there? Is it nice?

Well, we know how you feel about pubs and parties.

How do you feel about aggressive seagulls, tacky entertainment and funfairs?

Strippers. Bingo. Drag shows. Sometimes mashups of all three.

I was taught it was in central America in school! Sorry if that's wrong. Could they have changed it? Gawd knows but it's my schools fault! 😂

The Central American countries are really tiny: Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica. Mexico is huge and has definitely always been part of the North American continent (plate tectonics dictate this).

Who said that Spanish / South American people aren’t liked? Rubbish. Friendly rivalry over football but thats normal, most people love Spain.

pubs vary a lot, quiet and sedate, basically restaurants (both cheap and expensive), lively music, real ale places, tiny, big … I spent yesterday evening at my local independent pub/bar, live band playing original music they wrote, very very good, no cover charge, and it’s £4.80 a pint there, local real cask ales.

Gosh you came over so quickly! Only two days ago you were asking on here what it was like and thinking about working getting a job here so you could find a relationship. Amazing!

Quite.

My reply on the last thread was deleted, so I'll hold my tongue this time.

Incredulous at how long it is taking mn and posters to recognise this one for what it is though.

CleanSkin · 26/07/2026 09:32

Absolutely agree, @EwwStew
