I bloody well have'nt got a local as the French bars near me are totally shit.I live in a fairly large town with loads of bars but every one of them you would find a better atmosphere at a wake.There is one bar when i do go out with my english friends which is OK, and the barman will give you a free drink every 3rd of 4th pint, but it does'nt open week nights and at weekends he will close up if not a lot of people are in there at 9.30, hence most socialising is done in peoples houses, but i really miss having a local and is one of the main reasons i'm selling up to come home.
