I was wondering if anybody had read it.TONYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767998391294014275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713948124674580839.post-31434047674316634312011-07-23T11:13:44.606-07:002011-07-23T11:13:44.606-07:00@Michael: You're right - it was safer for peop...@Michael: You're right - it was safer for people to drink alcoholic drinks than water, and I'm sure that Jane Austen herself indulged in wine regularly. Taken out of context, though, I thought the idea of a pub-owning parson's son was funny. <br /><br />@Tony: I enjoyed reading your article on men and Jane Austen in Jane Austen's Regency World. It's good to hear a man's point of view, as I'm sure you can read a lot more into the male characters than us ladies can. A refreshing take on Jane Austen!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945462611904903179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713948124674580839.post-50567174223563212292011-07-21T04:38:07.545-07:002011-07-21T04:38:07.545-07:00Cheers ... have one for me!
@Anna -- this is the ...Cheers ... have one for me!<br /><br />@Anna -- this is the CoE, not Baptists or Methodists: there is along tradition of Church Ales etc. remember that water was often not safe to drink and 'small' (low alcohol) beer a staple.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385689703075431439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713948124674580839.post-35845964235359568722011-07-21T02:23:51.570-07:002011-07-21T02:23:51.570-07:00Oh!

I do wonder why they did not choose a more attractive shade. Or a different color altogether. Makes one doubt one has picked up a "gem"!

Also, that English country pubs are so old!<br />I'm learning new things from you all the time.Eliza Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259562378445586899noreply@blogger.com
