Fun fact about pub names in Britain - they're named things like 'The Kings Head' & 'The Black Swan' because outside there would be a painted image above the entrance on the outside. This was done to help identify public houses (pubs) before most people were literate and could read / write. Most frequenters were agriculture / factory workers and would use the image above the entrance to identify the pub.
@JimWhitaker5 ай бұрын
Alternatively, alehouses would traditionally be identified by a bough from an evergreen tree fixed above the entrance. I last saw this in Austria a couple of decades ago.

in the midlands we nickname them also, so my locals were the coach n horses (coke n snorters), the rose n crown (closing down), the travellers rest (old mans vest), the olympic (the armpit), and lastly the victoria which we call "the middle", coz its in the middle of the rest of em.

35:30 - As someone who worked in a pub in London, most of the strange requests we'd do, after clarifying about three times that is what they wanted. We'd then try whatever weird thing it was after our shifts, just to see if it actually worked or if it was just mental. The main one that stands out to me is having lager topped with pepsi, which honestly was nowhere near as bad as I expected - pretty much the same as a lemonade top haha, even if I looked at the guy who ordered it like he'd escaped from the local asylum!

Until relatively recently in Scotland, there was a whole section of society (mainly working class men, though by the time I was working behind a bar in the mid 90’s they were mostly retired) who would buy a single half pint of beer to last their entire visit and would order however many whiskys to sip and once the got down to the last of their whisky, they’d pour the last few drips into their beer. This was my Granda’s way of drinking in a pub and I can only say that in the thirty odd years we shared this planet, I can only really remember him being properly drunk once…though my brothers will have seen it far more often due to Burns Suppers mainly.
