The pub, short for 'public house', is an integral part of British life.
In Britain, pub can be:o A meeting place.o An entertainment centre. o The central point of a community.
The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) estimates that:o 80% of adults 'pub goers‘.o Over 15 million drink in a pub at least once a week.
Typical British pub?
There is no such thing.They come in all shapes, sizes and styles:
o From the traditional country pub, with real ales and an open fire (usually accompanied by an old man and his dog),
o To the bustling city-centre hotspot, with teenagers shouting to each other over ear-splitting music.
The centers of the larger cities have the widest variety of pubs within easy reach of each other.o Some of them are very old:
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem
