ENGLISH PUBS
The pub has involved over the centuries, always playing an important part in social life. Originally a stopping place for weary travellers, it was then called an inn or tavern and was one of the few places where a traveller could get food, warmth, shelter and, of course, a drink. Even in those far-away days the inn was the centre of community life in an area, and it was there that gossip and news was exchanged, and the latest political developments discussed.
Every pub has several rooms; originally, this was a division of classes, and still is to some extend today. Nowadays there is a smoking-room, a lounge and a public bar and sometimes a sitting room.
There are generally no waiters for the customers fetch their drinks; but in most rooms there will be a long counter presided over by a barman who stands behind several large handles, the beer pumps. The English drink beer because they like it, and because it is the cheapest alcoholic drink. The British drinking laws are full of absurdities. They cause plenty of irritation. But probably do not reduce the amount of drinking. Alcoholic drinks, including beer, are allowed to be sold for nine hours each day only in establishments licensed for the sale of drink, and in practice these are either hotels or pubs, grocers or wine merchants which sell bottles to take away.
Many English pubs have names which show their former use: “The Traveller’s Rest”, “The Coach and Horses”, or “The Pilgrim’s Arms”. Other pubs have humorous names like “The Cat and the Custard Pot”, “The Man in the Moon” (a pub in a lonely spot is often so called) or “The Who’s Have Thought It” (a pub in an unexpected place).
