Not quite a record time at 10 mins, but bloody quick!

It is indeed Epcot, taken over 30 years ago. Not sure how it looks now.

Not a challenge, just another view of same place as last photo. Our nearby campsite became flooded with the rain. Still Open House.

Rather an obscure one this, there is a photo on the web, can be found under brewery tours.

Driving on the wrong side of the road, cars look European. Are we in the EU?

Last pic is a bit of a giveaway considering the file name underneath.
Baltika brewery, St Petersburg

I think St Petersburg is in Europe, geographically speaking.

Thanks om.

As you mentioned Party Seven I thought I would stay on topic with another hostelry. Film buffs may recognise it.

Wot, no guesses yet?

The town, or should I say city, was the location for a 2007 film. There were several scenes inside the pictured hostelry.

The Crown Pub Wells - Hot Fuzz. Excellent film in fact may watch it this evening.

Ex-A has it!

The Crown in Wells it is, and a quite nice place to stay as well, some very quirky rooms as might be expected in such a pub. Stayed there a couple of times.

All yours Ex-A.

Thank you Smeagol and in fact we did watch the film last night.

Sticking with pubs then,

Could it possibly be the Olde Irish Pub?
Just guessing.

It's St James' Gate, Olde Irish Pub at 207 Wolfe Street (thanks GE). Larssnowpharter's bird of course.

Correct DBx. Due to his magnanimous gesture Larss is in the chair.
