During a tour of Cape Town with Andrew Lamprecht we stopped for a pint at the Firemans Arms Bar. This English looking pub with huge character (and the Cricket on) had a fine display of cut ties framed behind glass. Apparently in the old days these ties were too long to be worn in this pub and were chopped at entry. Another feature of the pub were the many sentences pasted into walls and furniture. Two examples read:
‘Having a non-smoking section in a pub is like having a non-pissing section in a swiming pool’
‘Beer, helping ugly people have sex since 1862′
