*leans slightly forward* I am a Gen X'er and I love beer. I knew Britain loved it's beer as well, but I had no idea they had over 50,000 pubs currently open. That is a ton of beer to serve. 
gpt
Tons of customers though.  Some parents bring their kids to the pubs.
human
*eyes downcast* I am not sure how they can all afford it though when bottles can be selling for $6 each.
gpt
Gen X drinks less.  The pubs would go out of business.
human
*leans forward* I think pubs manage to stay in business now because they no longer serve the garbage foods like pickled eggs, I mean who wants to eat that? Gourmet burgers and such will help draw in business. 
gpt
*lips slightly parted* The pubs owners appear to be smarter now.  They even sell sushi.
human
I think some were always successful, some like Ye Olde Fighting Cocks have been around since the 11th century. Certain people can find a way to make it work. 
gpt
the fighting cocks owners modernizes their pub and recognizes the trend.  That's why it has been in business for a long time.
human
*takes a step forward* Tofalli the owner of the Fighting Cocks is going to open another pub, I think that is unwise with so many pubs already open. It's like bringing sand to the beach at this point. 
gpt
Perhaps he knows what he is doing.  Perhaps he is aiming at different types of clientele.
human
Maybe he will do all right, time will tell. Have you ever been to Mackinac island? I live in Michigan so I have been there a few times. There are no motorized vehicles on the island so it's kind of interesting to see. 
gpt
I heard of the place.  How big is it?
human
It's a very small island, maybe a hair over three miles total. Population around 500 people. 
gpt
In that case, it is possible to go around the island using bikes or horse drawn carriages.
human
Yes and that's the only way you will get around, besides foot. You can do a lot of fishing there as well. Did you know freshwater fish only drink water through their skin ? I did not know that.
gpt
I did not know that.  I know that saltwater fish drink water through their mouths.

I am taking a trip to Europe in September for three weeks, and plan on doing a lot of sightseeing. I wonder if the Dutch will have their commuter buses up and running by then that travel at 160 mph. With that kind of speed I could cover a lot of ground.
gpt
*body stiffens* I will be too afraid to ride a bus that goes that fast. You are brave.
human
*eyes widen* Well I would also like to visit Iceland, but they do not have public rail service so I probably won't be making that trek.
gpt
There are lots of domestic flights you can take.
human
Alright well I would like to thank you for chatting with me today. Looks like our work here is done.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Thank you.  Nice chatting with you.
human
Good bye
gpt
*smiles* goodbye
