Your passport to the pub
Even if you are an alien visitor from another planet, this site will soon have you fitting comfortably into a British pub, understanding the behaviour you witness there, joining in and even becoming an accepted local with a seat by the bar and on first name terms with the publican.

Britain has over 60,000 pubs and more than 25,000,000 regular or occasional visitors. This fascinating site tells you all about healthy pub culture – how to choose a pub, understand the conventions, what pub-talk is all about, how to host a round of drinks or start a chat with a member of the opposite sex.
