People claim they would miss the pub

British pubs have come out top in a list of what people would miss if they were to move abroad, a survey has found.

In a poll conducted by relocation services company Global Visas, 36% of people said they would miss British pubs the most, beating British high street fashion (21%) into second and British tea (14%) into third.

Reasons given included ‘nowhere has pubs quite like we do in the UK’, ‘you can't take pubs with you’ and ‘beers are cheaper in the UK’.

Gary Smith, global sales and marketing director at Global Visas, said: “The pub culture is entrenched in nearly every Brits’ bloodstream, whether for a leisurely Sunday lunch, a quiet pint with friends and family, a Thursday quiz evening or a raucous night out.”

Smith added: “We may not have the warmest weather in the world, but we sure know how to pour the perfect pint, keep up to date with fashion trends and we have mastered the art of brewing a good pot of tea.”

British television and fish & chips jointly shared fifth place with Yorkshire puddings and the Royal family trailing behind.
