The word "pub" is the short form for "public house " in Great Britain. It is supposed to be the Englishmen's favourite meeting place, where they can get together with friends over a pint of beer and talk about football, horse racing or business. Pubs are usually open from 11 a.m. to midnight.

You may notice that the pub is the Englishmen's meeting place. It is not quite respectable for a woman to go into a pub alone . She must have a man to go with her. Perhaps that's partly the reason why pubs depress me -- they are intended mainly to provide for male interests.

Most Englishmen have their favourite local, where they can escape from the pressures of family life or work, and if they are lucky, they can tell their troubles to a pretty bar-girl. Indeed many men dream of retiring from their 9 to 5 jobs and buying a little country pub, where they imagine they will be the host of a seven night a week party.
