It turned out he was not only drinking a Margarita but actually lived in a place called Margaritaville.
Research revealed that there are 20 resort towns in the USA in the US called Margaritaville which claim to offer residents a “laid-back and carefree lifestyle”
I’d love a laid-back and carefree lifestyle in the UK. Is it possible in these pinched and anxious times?
Could this concept be extended to the UK? Of course not many drink Margaritas but we could have towns which attract aficionados of the greatest UK brews.
To my mind the best beer in England is Timothy Taylor’s Landlord and I could definitely live in a Landlordville pursuing a laid-back and carefree existence. I could consider a Tributeville or ProperJobville
On the other hand my companion at the beach bar did rather sell me on the Margarita thing which appears to have multiple variants.
One of these is the “Ultimate Rita” – a Margarita with a slug of brandy on top – that had a pretty satisfying effect.
