      Bancor is in north west Wales. It is a very very welsh area - most of the locals speak welsh, and it is fiercely welsh,, Caernarfon a bit further along (about 6 miles away) is even more welsh as are most of the towns round there such as Dogellau,

    I knew that you were popping to Bangor when you mentioned it at the end of the Birmingham episode, and I was hoping to have a pint with you when you came in? Im gutted that I was pre-occupied and didn't notice you.

    For those watching that may have wondered about the sign saying Free House.
    England's 'Free House' Heritage
    Prior to the 19th century, England had various types of establishments serving alcohol, including alehouses, taverns, and inns. The term “pub” emerged in the late 17th century to distinguish public houses from private residences.
    Beerhouse Act of 1830
    The Beerhouse Act of 1830 marked a significant milestone in the history of public houses. This legislation allowed for the proliferation of smaller, more humble establishments, known as “beer houses,” which were granted licenses to serve beer and other beverages. These beer houses were often unpretentious, with a single room or two, and were subject to more restrictive licenses than traditional inns and taverns.
    Free Houses
    Free houses, also known as independent pubs, have a distinct history. These establishments were not tied to a specific brewery or pub company (PubCo), unlike most pubs, which were owned and controlled by breweries. Free houses operated independently, often with a diverse selection of beers and ales. They were not bound by the same restrictions as tied pubs and could offer a wider range of beverages.
    Decline of Free Houses
    By the end of the 19th century, the majority of public houses in England were owned by breweries, and the number of free houses decreased significantly. This was largely due to the consolidation of breweries and the expansion of their tied estates.
    Beer Orders and Pubcos
    In 1989, the British government introduced the Beer Orders, aimed at increasing the number of free houses by forcing breweries to sell their tied houses. However, this led to the creation of pub companies (PubCos), which acquired the tied houses and transformed them into branded establishments. As a result, tens of thousands of pubs remained tied to breweries, and the number of free houses remained limited.
    Modern Era
    Today, free houses in England are relatively rare, with only a few truly independent pubs remaining. These establishments often prioritize offering a diverse selection of beers and ales, as well as a unique atmosphere and character. Despite the decline of free houses, the concept remains an important part of England’s pub heritage, with many enthusiasts seeking out these independent establishments for their distinct offerings and charm.

The locals told me to avoid certain bars where an English accent was not welcome. Home to Welsh Nationalists. Things could get tasty.
    Suggest you call in on Chester when you head North to Scotland Place of my youth and lots of great bars to wander around. You may want to avoid those frequented by the squaddies from the local army camp.

    Try Cork City ☘️ 👍 cheap flights. Best pubs in the world says Cillian Murphy himself. But try the local stouts which are cheaper than Guinness.

    Problem with Bangor is it's a student town so it has a lot of bars & pubs, however when the students are on their holidays they are always half empty at best.

    As a consumer of far too much alcohol I can honestly say never tried Guinness, closest thing I had was a stout once that was like eating a Sunday dinner.

    The second pub(mostyn arms) and third pub (skerries) looked decent but the town bars were ropey. Never understood why some bar staff look like you've pissed on their chips. I'm in love with the blonde in pink top in skerries in the corner. Like a young Patsy Kensit.

    South Wales is the roughest part of Wales. Watch out down there though as the locals are really handy with their fists and have a lot of pent-up frustrations. And be careful chatting to the birds as she might set some juiced-up guy on to you to break your nose 😊
