What I miss in the Outer Hebrides

Well we eventually made it down south to near London - when I say we I mean Tricia, myself and the hump. Staying with a friend at Eton College, a short stroll along the Thames bypass and we ended up in the Pineapple - a half decent pub without too many airs that serves a good pint of beer. Not too many like that in the Hebrides.
Follow that with a take away curry and you have two of the things we most lack on the isles.
