'I'm a 24-year-old woman but I love drinking in working men's pubs - it's magic'

She says she likes laid back working man’s pubs because of their karaoke and dancing. What?

I’m not sure what her agenda is here, but she’s not describing a working man’s pub. A bar that’s mostly men that focuses on dancing and karaoke is probably a gay bar, not a working men’s bar. I’ve spent some time in England and in a working man’s pub, the guys are hanging out and talking, maybe throwing some darts. They’re not dancing with each other and doing karaoke. The American equivalent would be a sports bar: big screen TVs, maybe some pool tables and gaming machines, not dancing and karaoke.

Why waste time commenting a hairhead's blogpost-equivalent on the local paper? that mirror article is just a retyping of the original piece here:

Yes it's stupid, and no wonder. A quick look at her page shows she mostly does basic write-ups on big news items sourced from wire services and the main papers, and the occasional local interest story. "Rookie journalist with little insight says stupid shit" is what this thread could be titled.

Who cares? Am I supposed to be outraged?

That... that doesn't sound like any "working man's pub" that I've ever been in. I'm not much of a bargoer, and maybe things are different in the UK (though the famous ballad of the anti-puritan says that at least they used to be more similar to ours), so it may just be a cultural thing, but still...

Anyway, if she's having a good time and not hurting anyone, I see no problem here. Good for her.
