The presence of our pubs is far too valuable to ever estimate, but the death of our pubs is a sure way of estimating just how far we've fallen.

π A huge pet hate of mine is when people say, "I don't like sea food." What do you mean? There are millions of creatures in the sea, and most are delicious. To me, and I say this politely, it comes across as uncultured and childish to write off the entire ocean because you think it's all a bit slimy.

Real women deserve to be treated as such. But, feminists deserve exactly what they ask for.

Love is exactly like a smashed pint glass. Once it's broken, there's no amount of patching that will ever make it appear or be as strong as it was.

In all of human history, there has never been a better place to drink and think than that of Britain's lost and living pubs.

Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto, was an Italian painter who spent part of his career painting #London. From the year 1746 to 1756, he lived in London and painted 50 paintings of the growing city. This piece is 'The River Thames with St. Paul's Cathedral on Lord Mayor's Day', between 1746 and 1747. If you click on the image you will see how brilliantly he has captured the the north bank of the river which, like it's backdrop, had not long been rebuilt after the "Great Fire of London" in 1666. Despite being a time and place with incredible hygiene and health issues, if certainly looks far smarter than what dominates the skyline today.

1749 - Westminster Abbey, with a Procession of Knights of the Bath by Giovanni Antonio Canal, il Canaletto. Seeing as photography did not exist, we're lucky such talented painters did.

The answer to the question "Have we let them down, or did they let us down?" is both. This image is alleged to be of a man on his way to seek shelter in a hostel on #Whitechapel Road in east #London during the 60s.
