It's not uncommon to have ice in the drinks, but it's not a rule, I'd say. It probably depends on the place you go. From my experience (although I've never been to England) if you go out to a bar at night they usually serve the drinks with ice. In a restaurant though, if you want ice in your drink you probably have to ask for it (but I don't see anyone give you funny looks for that). In fast food restaurants (McDonalds for example) it can be both ways, but it's very common to use ice. I never really gave it much thought because we have it both ways, it really depends on the place. Of course that if you are used to only ice drinks you might find it a little strange.
Well, I usually prefer ice drinks only in the summer when it's really hot LOL and I ask for ice right away when I ask the drink, just in case. The other times, I don't ask for it (unless I see it isn't cold the way I like when it is served). I don't want to spoil it by adding more "unnecessary" water.Red Dog said:here's a question though: you mention that you in particular like ice drinks. So, do you have to ASK the waiter to put ice in your drink when you eat out? Or do they just give it to you? Just curious.
