I started this post a week or so ago and am unlikely to ever finish it, so here it is in incomplete form: I recently met a friend from over the water and we went to a pub in London. I pointed out that he should not take this pub to be typical as it was one of those pubs built in the modern style, with pale wood, cutesy art and a lack of proper bitter. Alas, at the time I found myself unable to express what made this pub improper and the features that distinguish a proper English pub. The conversation moved on and the thread was never tied up, therefore I shall now venture my own opinion as to what defines a proper pub and distinguishes it from those buboes which have sprung up throughout the land of late.
Remarkable read, reminiscent of a bitingy funnier David Foster Wallace.
Just three days ago, I failed to properly characterize a proper English pub to some people in Poland and, furthermore, explain how to distinguish it from the, in my opinion, delightful disposition of the local drinking venues.
This piece was highly didactic as well as entertaining, and it brought me back to a pleasant moment. Thank you.
