This map of Ireland and Britain's pubs makes for a sobering sight

It’s almost a challenge.

WHERE THERE ARE people, there will be pubs. Where there are Irish and British people, there will be many pubs.

That pretty much sums up this image created by data analyst Ramiro Gómez who decided to plot the locations of 120,000 pubs around the world.

In the resulting map he chose to create to focus Ireland and Britian, mainly because they both have a lot of pubs.

In total, he uses the locations of about 29,000 boozers across the British Isles to show where the biggest concentrations are.

As you’d expect, the pubs are concentrated in the main urban cities across both countries, but there’s barely a space that doesn’t have a watering hole nearby.

If you’re interested in finding out exactly how the data was collected and shown, Gómez has written about it here.

Otherwise, just try and pinpoint your local.

    Is he paying for the hospital himself? Or is he going to leech free healthcare off the French taxpayer like his party says foreigners do in the UK?

    That’s the funniest part. Since it’s still pre-Brexit he’s an EU citizen and as such entitled to free healthcare in France.

    The UKIP politician is getting this care free because the UK’s in the EU.

    The ironing is delicious.

    I’d imagine there’s hardly an inch of that building not covered by either cameras or recording devices be they legal or illegal. It’s only a matter of time before a recording pops up somewhere…

    @Aidan Duggan: usually that is true. They regard fisticuffs as the way to sort out arguments. They are primitive and reactionary.

    Not a scratch or a bruise on him yet he’s hooked up to monitors and got a full medical team examining.

    Reminds me of that scene from the Simpsons after Mr Burns hit Bart and they take him to Dr Nick and Lionel Hultz . See this black smudge, whiplash…. and this part that looks like my fingerprint. That’s trauma!

    Bootboys of the far right have an internal ding dong to sort out a dispute.

    Much worse has happened in that “party”.

    They were both in Slytherin house back in their school days. Rumour has it they were cursed. So it looks like he’ll never recover fully since it’s a magic injury.
