The British pub is an amazing thing, it can be seen as a stale old traditional institution, but I can tell you, its not, it's actually a vibrant public forum. Come, get mortal, have a cuppa, have one, have ten, sit alone, speak to strangers, entertain us with your small talk, change the world, discuss politics or deep philosophy, argue, fall in love, debate, create, conjure, imagine ideas that would never see the light of day. The British pub is where these can and do come to life, and if nothing else, you can seek refuge, a bag of crisps and refreshment.
