To me, going to a bar is like going to a teens house with all the games consoles and the huge TV. Going to a pub is more like going to grandma's, where you know everyone there and it feels comforting and comfortable in a slightly old fashioned but good kind of way.

I love the great British and European pubs. There’s a lot of history in a pub. American bars mostly feels like it’s makeshift and just put together in the last year. If you sit in an old English pub and drink your beer in a corner quietly, you feel the souls that have been through it; you feel the laughter and the human emotions that have come and passed. Sometimes, families eat in a pub to remember their grand dad, their great grand dad and all the big family moments including weddings, baptism and post funeral drinks there. Some village pubs are literally the centre of people’s lives and memories worth cheering on; a real venue for the celebration of life now and those that went.

In England and Wales we have over 140,000 miles of public rights of way, to walk recreationally and to get from one place to another on foot, sometimes by using paths which have been walked for thousands of years. These public rights of way are maintained by local Authorities and are recorded on official maps (called definitive maps) in England and Wales. Often these paths were used many many hundreds of years ago to get from village or farm to a church or to the next village and crossed fields, woods, streams and went through farmyards, etc. - and they have been preserved up to the present time as "Rights of Way".

Prior to this land had continually been split into strips by inheritance rules and it also became more valuable for sheep farming requiring the consolidation. Smaller landowners were disinvested but the remaining landowners inherited the responsibility in perpetuity for maintenance and access for all the pathways that remained crossing their land. Local authorities enforce the rights of access and assist farmers in make them more accessible but responsibility for access remains with landowners

5:57 - Bath is a separate city considerably west of London! Dates back to Roman times, there were mineral springs there that were said to have healing properties so they built an entire temple complex around it and a settlement to match. Which is still called Bath to this day. It was very popular as a resort in the 1700 and 1800s, which is where a lot of the architecture dates from.

About pub culture. If you are a "regular"customer in your local pub the other regulars end up being like extended family. Really close friendships develop and quite often there is a garden out the back with outdoor tables and play equipment for kids

I am used to our historic visual heritage to a certain degree...but sometimes I go and visit a castle or stately home and I'm still blown away. I'm a history fanatic so I love being a British Citizen and living in England.

I can open my front door and look at the ruins of a 1000-year-old castle, and my sister's home is 400-years old. A bar is dedicated to adults and booze, a pub is more family-oriented. They also serve food, and children are allowed in if they don't drink alcohol...soft drinks are always available.

A bar is where you buy drinks, there will very likely be a bar IN a pub, but the pub itself isn't a bar. You can take your kids to a pub, your dogs, get a meal, etc. A pub is a "public house", like a community living room. US people don't tend to use the word "pub" just because they don't really exist over there. When you do see the word "pub" being used in the US it's often just an Ireland themed bar. Very different.

Bath in general is a Shithole

Pubs are wonderful and a very much part of the community. I used to go to a pub in Wales when I lived there and there was a very elderly gentleman who always sat in the same seat every day (he wasn’t a alcoholic just a lonely old man). No one would ever dare to sit in his seat. For about a year after he passed away that seat was sacrosanct and no one ever used it. That one thing describes what the pub culture in this country is like. It’s not all about drinking it’s about community and caring. ❤

For the holiday pay she talked about, you get 5 and a half weeks paid holiday a year. This is the case for both full and part-time work. For full-time work where you work 5 days a week, you are legally entitled to a minimum of 28 days paid holiday a year. Some companies may give you more than the legal requirement but it will depend on the company.

4:15 - the burial mounds usually aren't medieval. Most of them turn out to be neolithic. As for history overall, there's a certain amount of taking for granted. We can't get excited over everything. All the same, exploring the historic bit of a town is usually fun. Whereas winding up on an industrial estate where everything is concrete, grey, car parks, warehouses etc, I do find part of me dying inside a bit.

Alanna is a hoot! She's perceptive too. Her uploads are a 'must-watch'.

"pub" comes from "Public House" used to differentiate private houses from those which were, quite literally, open to the public as "alehouses", "taverns" and "inns".

Remember, the word Pub is simply an abbreviation of Public House. No US bar I have patronised has anything in common with a house. In Britain, pubs have games such as darts, cosy seating, food for the whole family, and some even have a small side room called a snug, where in my childhood days older women would gather to nurse a gin or a beer and gossip.

What a lovely video, it actually made me well up a little. Our pub culture is massive. There are different types of pubs, some are more like your bars and have a younger target audience but most are multi-generational and do have a cosy home-like feel. There's nothing better on a cold, crisp Sunday than popping to the pub to have a roast dinner for lunch, a glass or two of wine, and if they have an open fire it's an absolute bonus.

I love Alanna's videos. You really can't do much better for exploring cultural and social Britain. For me it's interesting to see what someone from another country who chooses to live here thinks, and she is always on the money I think.

The kids sections are huge, and in some they have a storyteller that the kids love.

Adventures and Naps fan here. I like the fact that you found her and her early impressions of England. I think there is a huge amount more for you to explore, especially the nuances of culture in different areas - the North/South divide, Yorkshire Folk, Carrot Crunchers of the West Country, Southern Softies, and many, many more ways we take jabs at each other lol.

Just to say I enjoy your videos and love your curiosity in our little country. I think you pretty much nailed it with the mom and pop coffee shop equivalence to pubs. Pubs vary from effectively restaurants to the coffee shop equivalent. People will go to pubs for may reasons: maybe to meet a friend in the day for one (or two) drinks and a catch up; for a quick meal with family; for a night out, but more relaxed than a bar, and everything in-between. Some pubs are better than others for the different reasons for going so it is quite hard to pin down a description of a pub. However, the best are always cosy and friendly, ideally old and with a deep history.

Agree. It's like a Brit thinking that the entire USA is New York City and looks like that everywhere. The 25 days holiday is a minimum for a full time worker and it's 5 days per week, so its essentially 5 weeks of holiday. Some people get more, I work in retail as a manager and i get 33 days holiday which is 6 weeks and 3 days of paid holiday. The Pub culture is so good here. A pub is basically a homely chilled usually dimly lit public house. You can drink and eat. And you can bring families in. Up until a certain time (i believe any kids need to leave a pub by 9pm). You can turn up a pub with a hoodie, with anything you want. A bar is like a lounge place with music, no kids are allowed. More dressed up. And has music, but you can still eat there until a certain time. A club is just music, alcohol and a dancefloor.

Bath is a beautiful city in the south of England. It was built by the Romans, and the whole city has amazing architecture.

To give some idea of the difference between Pub and Bar, it might help to consider that 'Pub' was originally from 'Public House'. It was a way of meeting people, celebrating events etc. with more room and facilities than in your own house.

A couple of the ‘best things’ can be added together. Going for a country walk, on the public footpath and stopping off in pubs along the way. Perfect Sunday!!

Pub is short for Public House. The main difference between a Pub and Bar is that. A Pub is literally someone's house. They live upstairs. The decor is very homely. A bit like your grandparents old fashioned house which a bit run-down. Has lots of trinkets and ornaments cluttering the place up. Where a bar is purely commercial premises and is decorated as such - large glass window panes instead of brick walls. Super modern. Neon lights. Glittery floors

It's mandatory for 28 days annual leave, this can include the 8 bank holidays, but most decent companies give you the 28 days annual leave and then you get the 8 bank holidays on top. I can also purchase 4 extra days taking me to 32 days plus 8 bank holidays :)

The gate you climb over us called a Stile

As she said, we do try to rally when someone is in great need, and *Solihull (near Birmingham) is one that's in great need of our support this week. People don't donate for this, they do it to help others, but occasionally a loved one or family will use some or all of the money to form a new charity, &/or to lobby the courts or Parliament to change or create new laws to make our slice of the world safer. *I don't want to add specific details and accidentally trigger someone now or later, so respectfully this is all I'll say about it here. I do know this is not unique to the UK, although it's sweet of her to mention it. I saw the US news of the severe storms hitting multiple states 2 days ago, and the fundraising in place to help those directly impacted, so US citizens do support each other, and I'm sure many other countries have similar systems in place to provide support and assistance where needed too. Changing the topic; landowners who have public rights of way on their property legally have to keep them clear, including cutting back greenery (hedges/trees etc), at their own expense, to allow easy access along the public walkway through their land. If they don't keep it clear the local council or highway authority will serve a notice to the landowner with a deadline to clear it, and if they still don't, the local council will hire someone else and send the bill to the landowner. It's pretty serious, and we treasure our public walkways. We're also careful not to litter, to stay on the designated path, and to always, always, respect people, animals, land and property. For example; leaving a gate as it's found - so if it was closed and you opened it to pass through, you close it behind you to prevent cattle escaping. Landowners cannot block anyone on a public right of way (it's mandatory by law) and occasionally a path cuts through next to a landowners home or through their farmyard, but most landowners are friendly to hikers as long as they're respectful of the land and animals.

Bath is in the English West Country, quite near Wales. It's an old Roman town. The Romans believed the spring water there had healing qualities, so there are roman baths there. Hence the name Bath! It's beautiful there. The modern city of Bath is very close to Bristol which is a bigger, more modern city. Being a beautiful, historic city that is right next door to a modern, eclectic city makes it a really popular place to live and/or visit. If you want to understand pubs properly you should reach out to Alanna / Adventures and Naps and do a collab with her, have a full conversation about pubs and what they are.

As well as being 'ancient paths', right of ways can be quite recent. For a time in the UK, Dad was an armed Ministry of Defence police officer at a munitions factory. There was a high security fence around the factory, and it was surrounded by a farmland buffer zone, which also contained 'married quarters ; for some of the senior officials and security staff. A road led from the highway past the staff housing and down to the main security gates. There was a gate at the entrance that was always left open, except for ONE day when the gate was closed and manned by the police. This was done to avoid the road from becoming a public right of way.

We often go out as a family for Sunday lunch or an early evening meal. Children and family dogs are very welcome too.

Bath is a city about 100 miles west of London, Tyler. It was founded by the Romans as Aquae Sulis, and several of the baths that were originally built by the Romans, over natural hot springs, have been restored and are open to the public for viewing. There's also a modern rooftop complex that you can also bathe in! It was greatly expanded during the Regency Period (early 18th Century) and is a model of Georgian Architecture. Also, all other buildings in the entire city, including new ones, are obliged to use the same light honey-coloured stone, that is quarried nearby. You know that 'Pub' is short for Public House, don't you? Regarding Rights of Way, the best resource are the maps published by the Ordnance Survey, which is a State-Establishment responsible for the publication of maps of the entirety of Great Britain including all its islands, at various scales. On the current series, the popular 1: 50 000 (1 km per grid square) scale shows rights of way in pink - including all official footpaths, bridlepaths (which are theoretically also open to horses and cycles) and by-ways (that are supposedly open to all traffic); and the 1:25 000 scale which is twice as big and detailed shows them in green or orange - for England and Wales only, in both cases - because Scotland has a different legal system and there is no law of common trespass here, with reasonable access allowed everywhere! The best resource - upon which you can also freely access all historical maps, land usage maps, and even compare them side by side, can be found at maps.nls.uk/

Yes, you take it for granted. I live in Greenwich, stroll through Greenwich Park and barely notice the Royal Observatory or look at the view across the city.

Go through the market and don't even notice. Will stop and look today, apppreciate it more.

Tyler the minimum holiday entitlement in the UK is 28 days minimum, most people get 25 days to choose when they wish and at least 6 other public holidays like christmas etc, I was a factory worker and got 31 days per year, some public workers get other time off including time to go shopping.

This video has made me appreciate England and UK even more . My childhood spent in a small Northern Town, more industrial than historic in architecture. I feel grateful though for the opportunities to travel and appreciate beautiful countryside and lovely towns across the UK. In England, I'd suggest, the Lake district, Pennine areas and Yorkshire dales/ moors, Peak district, Dorset! Just realised the list needs 20 more recommended areas!

My hometown has a castle dating back to the 11th century. Just down the road is a Stately home, Himley Hall, formerly owned by the Earl of Dudley. It was visited frequently by the Royal family, including Edward & Mrs Simpson who used to meet up there regularly for secret trysts. There’s a small airport nearby for light aircraft and the locals knew that every Friday the light aircraft would fly over with the then King & Mrs Simpson on board. The locals who worked in the Hall knew and gossiped. Also just down the road is Holbeach house which still stands, where Guy Fawkes and other gunpowder conspirators were caught for trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Near the local cemetery they’re still finding artefacts connected to the gunpowder plot. There’s history everywhere you look. An alternative to pubs are Inns. Jamaica Inn, from the novel and film of the same name is in Cornwall and is still in use.

I live in a very small village in Cornwall, there is a pub, a fish & chip shop, hairdressers, a small corner shop, as well as a church. At the weekend, some pubs and Innes have sing alongs and everyone joines in, the ones I go to have sea views too.

"Medieval" burial mounds were mentioned but, in my experience, burial mounds are much, much older than the medieval period (500-1500 AD) and date from pre-history, long before even the Roman invasion 2000 years ago.

Okay, British pubs. A typical pub usually comes with two areas to drink/eat. The Public Bar is a place is where you'd have a pint of beer or whatever, play darts, billiards, snooker or pool. Usually has a tv for sports or background noise lol you would sit on stools at the bar. A place you'd go with your mates/work colleagues. Back in the day it would be frequented more by men. The Saloon Bar is the quiet area if you like. The seats are much more plush, with deep buttoning and low tables. There's usually a slot machine/one armed bandit to gamble on. It's where you'd find a jukebox. A place to take your girlfriend or to meet girls. The two areas would be separate but share the same bar. However they would have their own entrances/doorways from the street. Food is much more ornate. Food in the Public bar would mainly consist of snacks.

The term "pub" is short for "public house", which means they've been granted a licence to serve alcohol. They're essentially a version of the Roman taverns we had here a long, long time ago. 👍

With the Manchester bombings it was at a concert so alot of people had travelled to see it. Taxis drivers for different cities especially Liverpool drove down to give people lifts back to their city and make sure they go back okay.

We also were entitled to two days paid training/study time a month and had the option to enrol in courses paid for by the company - for example I gained a distinction in a business degree over a couple of years using a half day a week apart time release using the "training days" and two evenings of my own time per week for classes plus other hours of my own time studying, with the company paying for the tuition and the exam fees providing I passed the exams. The company found that people were more productive if well educated, fit, rested and able to concentrate. regarding breaks, one 15 minute tea/coffee break per morning and afternoon were encouraged, lunch breaks were expected to last at least half an hour with a maximum of two hours ( to allow one to go to the gym or participate in sport at least once a week they also subsidised gym or sports club memberships) Sick time was much reduced if people exercised regularly and were not encouraged to spread sickness around the work place by having to attend whilst ill. Work safety also improved with incidents and accidents virtually eliminated. Driving accidents reduced and road safety also improved - driving whilst ill is as bad as driving whilst under the influence. Within the working day breaks did not count towards working flex hours but were a contractual entitlement so people could not be penalised for taking breaks to a minimum total of 1 hour during a working day and had to be allowed time to eat, drink and use facilities as needed. Before smoking was banned, breaks for smoking outside the premises were permitted to a maximum of 5 minutes in any one hour provided the person signed up to committing to give up smoking and smokers were offered courses on how to give up, free nicotine patches or gum and free hypnotism or counselling to give up the habit. It was found that sick days reduced by two thirds after the smoking ban was introduced and those who desired to give up smoking were assisted in their goals. These days the holidays are less generous, but 20 days paid leave plus paid bank holidays is still a basic minimum for full time workers and in many companies even more flexible working hours are allowed to allow parents to participate in child care - for example several of my friends work 4 x 9.5 days a week rather than 38 hours per 5 day working week - if working from home they must be available during core hours on home-working days but otherwise can work early or late to fit in with domestic needs as long as the work is done to the required quality, mandatory meetings are attended and deadlines are met. Most do not get paid overtime at all or get it only rarely when extra time is required by management over the contracted hours or on bank holidays- you are expected to get your job done within your contracted hours. Part time workers get statutory paid leave proportional to the percentage of standard hours they work. Check out the rules for parental leave too Presenteeism, unhappy and stressed staff and excessively long hours are generally not productive and quality of output diminishes - achieving good work-life balance and good education and health amongst staff improves quality and productivity and benefits society. in one company I worked at you could donate a half day a week to volunteering for a local charity - such as helping with adult literacy, helping out at a hospice or giving talks on business to local schools. The company of course got a tax break for that as our paid time was donated to charity as we volunteered on their time.

The standard is 25 holiday days + all the bank holidays so its actually 33, a lot of places also let you take extra days off as paid flexi leave if you work overtime

Retired now BUT .... I got 6 weeks annual leave ...... PLUS the 8 Days of Bank Holidays spread throughout the year (THAT EVERYONE GETS) .... THIS is what a lot of us get ... That's 38 DAYS PAID LEAVE .... PLUS if your employer has Flexi-time .... You can work an hour or two longer a day or just an hour extra on any given day, and ADD all those hours up to INCREASE your annual leave .... I often earned myself 2 weeks extra a year on Flexi-time .... Meaning I often got 8 weeks Annual Leave PLUS the 8 Bank Holiday days ..... Americans unfortunately are worked to the bone for little return .... AND we get PAID sick leave too ..... Paula UK x

A Canadian woman (Jessica) and her hubby (Matt) visit four well known pubs in London and you get a 'feel' of what tourists will find... On YT under the title 'A Historic London Pub Tour Through Some of London's Oldest Pubs' - Worth watching and I have drunk in all of them over 'many' years, including taking friends and relatives who come to stay - LOL!

Most of these rights of passages are called bridal paths, or Roman pathways, they are routes that were walked hundreds of years before any property was there, so to preserve them the Rambling society and government made these protected sites for walking and hiking and its an understanding between each person to use but not trash

The UK has many public rights of way (Public footpaths). These are ancient footpaths which cannot be blocked or moved unless given permission by a court.

I am English born in Lancashire, I left England to live on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 I would love for you to review my island, we are a small island and a crown dependency, we have our own government (the oldest Parliament in the world) we have castles, fabulous rolling hills, a rich culture, a mountain, an electric railway, a steam railway, our own fishing boats and harbours, cats with no tails, we have many traditions. There is plenty of video’s and information on utube. I like watching your reaction and can see how much your beginning to like lots of things about the U.K. so now have a look at the Isle of Man which is an island between England and Ireland. Enjoy 💕🇮🇲 ps don’t forget to look up the world famous TT Races.

Grew up in London visited it twice later have always loved it! 😇🙏👌💖💕💖🇬🇧

I think the main difference is a pub is a mixture between a bar and a restaurant.

On a walk, in the country, fields are often separated by stiles, which one climbs over.

The kids don't drink alcohol with the parents, but when they become teenagers and start going out socialising with their school friends, they'll often head for the pub which of-course by now they're used to, from their earlier family experience.

Public right of way is clearly signposted, and there is a prepared track. I am currently at my local village pub , and almost the entire path is between two large wheat fields. There are fences and barbed wire either side of the truck for fallow periods, when the lower field is used for horses, so you don’t actually come into contact with any livestock.

Alanna's (Adventures and Naps) vlogs are great, she really speaks from experience, love you Alanna 💕

Holidays in Australia: 4 weeks Annual Leave (20days) plus in the Stare of Victoria there’s additional 13 Public Holidays ( includes Easter Sat and Easter Sunday) So 33 days paid leave.

When we're all in a pub with friends, we all say, who's going up to the bar to get the drinks. It's the only time we say the word bar, when actually in the pub. When outside at home, we say, who wants to go to the pub. Lol. And we also bring the children with us. It's such a great atmosphere. 👍

Pub is a shortening of Public House which originally provided Food, Drinks and Accomodation for travellers. Yes these days children can go for family meals with adults. Some Pubs have play areas for kids. They need to leave by 9pm but this could vary depending upon the Pubs Licence. We also have Wine Bars, general or themed Bars, Sporting Venues, Licensed Restaurants.

Think of pubs as a home from home: Alcohol, food, families, alcohol, kids, Sunday Roasts, alcohol, open fires, games & quizzes, alcohol, gardens, dogs, kids' outdoor play areas, etc. Oh, and alcohol.

Some of this will have already been said. Pubs are Public Houses and originally would have had two bars, a Public Bar and a Saloon Bar or Lounge. The Public Bar was rough and ready and would have been used by workmen in their work clothes. The Lounge would have been plusher and frequented by business types. Today many Pubs are still like this, but many are Lounge Bar quality throughout as we no longer have lots of factory workers dockers etc. There are two types of Pubs, Free Houses and Tied Pubs. Tied pubs are owned by breweries and employ a Publican or Landlord to run it for them or rent it out to the Landlord so that he can run it as his own business. With a tied Pub you have to buy your beer from your Brewery along with all the other stock. The brewery would own the premises. A free house would often belong to the Publican, and he would be free to sell beers etc from more than one brewery. Among Pubs today there are many that were originally Coaching Inns. Today many of these are Hotels others are pubs often with accommodation. Drinks sold are regulated by the Government and glasses for beer are marked with a crown and sometimes with a line. These marks show that the glass is approved and will take the full amount you are being served i.e., a pint or half. Unmarked glasses can be used, but only if the pump supplying the beer is automatic and measures out the correct amount of product. This also applies for other drinks like wine. All spirits either have to be dispensed from an optic, a measure on the bottle or by the use of a tot measure, again approved by the Government. Customs officers from the Weights and Measures department do check on Pubs and short measures are treated seriously. The also test the Specific Gravity of products to ensure that they have not been watered down. I've been in a pub when I have seen the SG of the beer being tested and that the automatic pump was dispensing the correct amount. I'm sure you know, but there are some interesting KZread films on interesting Pubs, look at London Pubs.

In one of our locals, there is a play area both 😮inside and outside, it also serves delicious food. The other one has a beer garden.

Pub = Public house. For community gathering and celebration, serves food and can be booked for parties. Inn for drinks, food and rooms to sleep. Bar serves drinks, not food, maybe peanuts.

Pub is just short for Public House.... From what I've read _The term derives from the metal or wooden bar (barrier) that is often located along the length of the_ "bar"

Bars are for drinking, Pubs are for relaxing with the family, pets, friends, after a long day, after a hike etc

This lass has done loads of videos about England.. I watch her videos.. you really wanna watch more of them she good x

In the UK, anyone who works at least 5 days a week are entitled to 28 days of holiday. If you work less than 5 days a week, your holiday is limited to 5.6 times the number of days you work a week.

That was so very interesting. I have always been interested in trying to understand how the "witch fever" came into existence and how it hurt so many, of what I consider to be, innocent people. I had never heard about this case, child, and her long standing influence in British and American law. Thank you for taking the time to go into historical depth.

Always take my son to the pub. He's 7 and when we pass he asks to go in. He knows a few of the regulars now.

Up to a point if you live in the U.K. you do take the surrounding history for granted. However visiting a beautiful ancient city such as Winchester which I did last Summer for the first time in over 10 years I was fully aware and appreciative of its beauty and history. The great Cathedral, begun in the 11th c, was as awesome and magnificent to me as it was when I first visited over 25 years ago.

25 days is the minimum holiday entitlement. Most of us get around 5 or 6 weeks plus bank holidays !

nice you watched elana, she is canadian, and has so great first class content on her channel

Pub is short for public house. So think of it as a home, that's open to the public. Roaring log fire in the winter for everyone to enjoy, pint of beer etc, and friends to chat about your day with.

In fact mandatory vacation time in the UK is 5.6 weeks. For someone who works 5 days a week this equates to 28 days. This includes 8 statutory public holidays. Employers may offer more than this, but not less.

Hello Tyler, wishing you a merry christmas and a happy new year . We are too used to the history and landscapes etc that we don’t really think about it much. Take care 😘🇺🇸⛄️🎄🎁🥶

the whole of the UK countryside is crisscrossed with public footpaths (sometimes just a muddy track across a field). there are signposts pointing the way and farmers have to allow access. The good ones put up additional and highly visible signs so you don't wander all over their land. often it is really tricky to know where you are supposed to go. There are sometimes warnings 'bull in field' or similar. Sometimes dog walkers are trampled to death by cows, but hey, that's what can happen if you let your dog loose in a field of cows!

Another one of Adventures and naps videos. He must like them as much as I do. But sadly no credit again. Head over to A&N to see all the other videos, there are several years worth and worth watching. www.youtube.com/@AdventuresAndNaps

The city i live in was founded in 79 AD. I have been all over the world. But love coming home to Chester in the UK. I work for an American company and get 30 days plus all the public Holidays off as well.

Back in 1942 the American military made a couple of training/information films for the US troops coming over to Britain, and they both had good explanations of the British pub life. They also told the American troops that "Jim Crow" was not a thing in the UK.

The pub name is the shorter version of the name Public House, where people go to congrigate for food and drinks.

Bath is in the west, lots of gorgeous Georgian buildings, being a Jane Austen fan I love it there

Pub...short for Public House, within said house you'll find a room with the word Bar on its door other rooms would be named Salloon or Snug ...

you need to visit England. IT would be a massive eye opener.
