Entry: Expat Bars in Lyon - France - A651953
Author: Whisky (Scout) Overworked and stressed - U180644

Ok, I've been meaning to finish this one for months - I'm not even sure it's suitable as its more of a pub-review than an objective piece. I've tried to keep it objective though...

Go ahead folks, do your worst.

Looks like this got a lot of attention over the weekend




*shamelessly bumping it back up to the top of the list*

Hi Whisky,

I don't mind bumping it up to the top again. I've scanned through it and it does need spell/grammar checking. I'm a bit tired at present, otherwise I would do you a list.

I'll have a look at it for spelling etc. (I'm lazy and generally write my entries straight onto the site unless they're extremely complicated)

hi whisky

sorry you are stressed,

nice pub guide.

few typos but i know you will sort those out

i'll keep an eye out for this getting through to the front page so i can send my relatives the url. i think they might find this useful.

you dont mention at any point who is allowed in these bars......adults only? do any allow kids? do they allow kids in if you are eating but not otherwise?

just thought it might be useful...

FABT

Good point about kids, I must admit I'm not that sure, but I'll check up and put the information in this afternoon.

it's not really necessary, but if it is easy to find out then it would be useful information.

FABT

Aaaah, now I see that you've really earned the honourable title of 'researcher' Must have been quite a bit of fun!

Hi folks, sorry I haven't got round to doing anything about this just yet... I'll give you a shout when RL gets out of my way...

Hey Whisky, where do you go to discuss the presidential elections in Lyon?

Interesting times at the moment over here in France, oder?

At the moment I'm not discussing it much, beyond the fact that I work for a small country with six full time staff, the boss is originally Turkish, there are two Brits and one of the other members of staff is half spanish....

The only thing we've been discussing is which country we move the company to if Le Pillock gets into power...

I'm afraid my discussion on this subject is limited to growling at anyone who says they either voted Le Pen or were going to abstain this time round coz they didn't like Chirac...

Added to that my ex-father in law is a 'Pied Noir' (Non-arab/French - born in North Africa). As a group they tend to be a little to the right of Atilla the Hun (having been kicked out of 'their' country by the arabs as they seem to think) and I think he voted for Le Pen in the first round... Strangely enough, he dropped the subject of politics very quickly after I commented that anyone voting for Le Pen should be dropped head first out of a third floor window and that I'd be quite happy to volunteer for the job...

for 'small country' please read 'small company'

Hi Whisky

Perhaps the title ought to mention UK ex-pats.....

I'm worried that the guide is become a bit too UK-centred.



Otto

Whoops - thanks to the scout that recommended it and apologies to the sub-editor that gets it with all the spelling mistakes and the general lack of links....


This one got through a little too easily... oh well, I'd better get on with the next one now.

How long have you been in Lyon you seem to know the bars well!!

Hi there, just to confirm that I'm not a total alcoholic , I've been out here six years now so have had plenty of time to get around the place
