O u t - o f - c l a s s r e a d I n g pubs
Owing to the uncertainty of the weather, outdoor cafes are not a feature of English life. Their place is partly filled by what are colloquially known as 'pubs', public houses. Here you can get any form of alcoholic drink, from beer to whisky, or -nowadays - soft drinks. Many pubs also run some kind of snack bar that provides cold food such as sausages, ham, olives, salad, veal-and-ham pie, rolls and butter and sometimes hot pies or toasted sandwiches. Some pubs maintain the traditional division into two parts - a public bar and a saloon bar. In the first there is often a dartboard, and groups of friends will gather in the pub for a friendly match. The loser may have to pay for a round. In the saloon bar your drinks cost a little more, but the atmosphere is quite and there are perhaps fewer people. In many pubs there is also a restaurant, and the food here is usually plain but of good quality; in fact, to taste good, traditional English food you would do well to visit a reputable pub. Many businessmen habitually have lunch in a pub near their office. In the country, the pub is often part of an inn where you can put up for the night. The Englishmen's favorite drink is beer, of which a variety of sorts is brewed', 'bitter' is probably the most popular. 'Stout' is a heavy dark beer, very popular in Ireland. English beer is different from Continental beer; the latter should be served well chilled, whereas English beer is at its best when it is only cool. Continental-type beer or 'lager' has become very popular in England in recent years and its sales are beginning to rival those of the more traditional beers. Wine is also increasingly drunk, both in pubs and in the home. The times of opening of pubs are regulated by law; local variations are possible but usually a pub is open from half past eleven to three o'clock and from half past five to half past ten or eleven o'clock. Betting is forbidden in pubs and children are not allowed on licensed premises. In the old days, when people drank too much and pubs were often rowdy, the law against children entering pubs was a wise one. Today, however, increasing numbers of pubs are opening their gardens to customers, so that children can play safely while their parents have a quiet drink. It would be quite wrong to consider the average English pub as anything other than a respectable, friendly place that provides good drink, good food and a pleasant social atmosphere. Far too often the foreigner has read accounts of sordid nineteenth-century drinking places, haunted by people whose one desire was to drink as much as they could afford as quickly as possible. Another fairly widespread idea is that people do not sit down in English pubs, whereas they often do. This misconception probably arises from the origin of the word 'bar', which referred to the metal rod (bar) along the lower edge of the counter, where the customer could rest his foot while standing up to have his drink. English pubs do not resemble the 'saloons' shown in the more fanciful Wild West films!
