Just to clarify, we're more used to sweet toppings for our pancakes, as opposed to pig toppings.
Not that the bacon is a bad thing, just not the norm. We prefer our animals mechanically seperated, mixed and injected into small pie pie casings.

We don't typically put the bacon on the pancakes here, usually on the side with a pound of butter and some maple syrup on the pancakes themselves
But you can get haggis there
I'd eat haggis nonstop the next time I go

Wine over a good English or German Ale.
I know, particularly since he can get 90 shilling cask ale on tap for a mere pound and change

lol where? for one finding 90/- on tap isn't really all that common... most places will have 70/- and 80/- though. Never have I seen a pint of beer for less than £1.30 either and thats monday night get them in the door prices lol.
That said, I do enjoy beer but right now my finances are so dire that I can't really drink for pleasure so its cheaper to get drunk on wine

Well, I was last there in '01 - back then I was able to get it for 1.15 or so in a few places, whereas Budweiser was 1.85
I found it in Brighton last year for 1.50, didn't think that was too bad

Dontcha know, Budweiser is an exotic beer.

£1.15! bargain, whereabouts were you?
Average price up here seems to be around £2.20 for most pints
apart from the student places of course, but I suspect they water down their beer.Syrup Beaver

That thar's one o' them "fancah" beers, like paw gets at that hotel in the citahDontcha know, Budweiser is an exotic beer.
Up north eh.
Strange things happen up there, or so I hear. Aberdeen is as far north as i'll go
You know you'd be surprised at the amount if idiots who think Budweiser is worth the premium they seem to get away with charging here.
Then again, i've heard about people praising swill like Stella Artois and Heineken... never mind the fact that its the same mass produced tasteless fizzy crap they're used to.

Not surprised any more
I asked the barkeep in one place why everyone in the joint was paying .50 more for Bud than the cask ale on tap
He leaned over the counter and says to me "Because they are very, very uncouth"

Its a shame, but then again you do see a few places that really support real ale in a big way. Theres a great pub in the centre of Aberdeen called The Prince of Wales, low oak beamed ceilings, stone walls, nice well used dark wood furniture for that authentic pub feel and best of all - 20 or so cask conditioned ales to choose from :>
oh to have beer money

Haggis is the most disgusting gastronomical item ever to grace human presence. Eww.
I have bacon IN my pancakes. I fry up the bacon until it is nice and crispy. Then I crunch it up into bits and mix it in with the pancake batter. That leaves lots of room on the plate for butter and potatoes and eggs and sausages
My cousin's pub in livingston (I think) has 90/- for 2.25, Miller for 2.85, Guiness for 2.50

Oh you Americans.
That does sound good though, i'd be so fat if I lived across the pond
Agreed regarding Haggis.
