Spring Break 2007 - English Guys thinking about PCB

Hi Guys,

Me and my mate are looking at goin to PCB for our spring break holiday here in the UK next March. Suppose im asking if we would be welcome there (or would two pale English guys look a bit out of place??!!) It looks like an absolute blast from what I can see though I can't say I know too much about the whole Spring Break thing in the States.

Any and all ideas/comments welcome....


Cheers

Im coming from a purley visual angle here.....but thanks!,

also, if anyone knows any websites that cater for international travelers with PCB springbreak packages I would love to find a few. We're havin trouble keeping an 8 day trip under £1000 ($1800 rough) per/person excluding spending....

Keep the praise coming though!

And maybe the accent. I talked to some guys this weekend that were visiting Nashville from the UK (well, they live in NYC right now) but they were so nice (and cute)! Ok, I'll have some useful info later.

You may need to visit a tanning bed prior to your trip.

Just how proper are you my lad? Pcb may be a little too crazy for you.

Can you funnel a beer? If so, how many can you take down at once?

yes mate i do, pretty much any one an all. Y? The yard is for special occations (bit of a right of passage for men turning 18 or 21) and contains around 3 pints of beers to be drunk out of a long, glass, trumpet-shaped tube. We're a weird bunch now I think about it!!

Any more ideas where I might get cheapish english brand beers or more particularly ciders and we are partial to Strongbow over here, I don't hold too much hope of gettin a can if we go to PCB though.....maybe im wrong??

Cheers

Wait, wait...we hung out with some cute boys from across the pond and they were calling their beers tinneys!

And...we spent the weekend with some guys from London and they could barely understand our slang.

What is an english brand beer? I'm a bud light girl myself.

England actually has one of the best beers. It is called Newcastle Brown Ale.
