An 'English Pub' In Japan

We chanced upon this pub in Takayama looking all out of place with the rest of the simple Japanese architecture. It looked promising for a nice, cosy drink during a cold lazy afternoon but like a lot of things in Japan, it doesnt do what it says on the tin. The interiors looked more like a Laura Ashley furniture shop than an English pub, and you couldnt get crisps or beer or anything that might actually be in an English pub. Alas, we spent several hours holed up in the pub having hot chocolate with lots of cream, mmmmm, sheltering from the rain outside. We amused ourselves lots with giving each other a choice of three hideous people and we had to sleep with one of them. Hypothetically speaking, of course. I gave Sven, Margaret Thatcher, The Queen or John Major. As a testiment of how much he likes English women, Sven opted for John Major.
