My colleagues and I often used to go out for Friday night drinks down the pub after work, we were often a group of 15 or more, so the concept of rounds, was ludicrous with that many people, as very few if any would stay until everyone had paid for a round and you would have to get a bank loan for it. We used the “Whip” system. Before we went there would be an agreed amount for the whip and everyone would contribute£5, £10 or £20 this would all go into a pint beer jug and would be used to pay for the drinks, if you were only staying for one drink you didn’t contribute and bought your own. If the pot ran short during the evening there may be a further Whip of £5 to top it up. At the end of the evening whoever was holding the whip, would be entrusted to keep it and use it to add to the pot the next time we went out. Alternatively depending on how much was left it could be distributed equally amongst those remaining or given to the bar staff as a tip

Regarding closing times, we have to be considerate of residences nearby 🎉

You forgot about the one about Americans must be abcompined with an adult got that on. Here hahaha classic 🤣😂🤣😂

My wife has gastropubs across Western Europe and in Oceania.  We make it very simple for US Americans, Russians and Israelis. Our door staff simply refuse you entry to any of our venues. Nothing to get confused about, no need to tax your intellect by having to remember a table number.

if you know where to drink in london you can legally drink 24 hours per day. start ' a market early house pub then a normal pub the a night club rinse & repeat for as long as you are able sundays is the only day you cant.

In Sheffield in the 1950s many were in shift work (6-2, 2-10 and 10-6 am), so the local pubs stopped serving 30 mins after the shift end. The idea was so that most of the pay packet made it back to the wife.  Then the time extended to 11.00 pm for the afternoon shift. Then, eventually, the opening hours got even longer. My brother ran a pub in Haxey, Lincolnshire, and said it made the days very long, as he had to get to let the brewery delivery driver in with new barrels at 6 a.m, and take away the empty ones.

you don't even need to buy a drink, you can ask for tap water at the bar for free, use the toilet and take a seat and relax for a couple of hours. No staff say anything

A small number of pubs did opt for the 24 hour licence. I don't know why they all didn't as they could then choose when they wanted to open and close. They didn't actually have to stay open for 24 hours. Others tended to go for 1 or 2 am but only use that at weekends.

Also here you can drink legally at the age of 18 , you have to be 21 in America to drink alcohol legally.

from uk,,,,as always Olivia you are amazing and very beautiful

IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS THEY DRINK WHISK AS IT'S MEANT TO TAKEN. ASK FOR ICE IN THE HIGHLAND PUB...AND THEY'LL RIGHTFULLY THROW YOU OUTSIDE

There is actually a huge amount of variety in the UK. The most friendly and easy-going locations are usually the small village pubs, but you have no more than two minutes to define the way you will be treated. The locals will reflect whatever attitude you come in with... amplified! City pubs tend the be more disinterested, neither particularly friendly nor unfriendly.

fridge engineers don't normally take ice. we have seen the insides of ice machines. the wash cycle models are hygenic the others not so much.

I have to admit when I was drinker,we got rid of buying rounds,there could be a dozen of us & it became ridiculous + one of my friends would empty his pint before the last pint of the order hit the table.

You 're magic.

IN A BRITISH PUB IF YOU ENTER AT ANYTIME (other than as a character from pantomime) ANDWEARING A PSUEDO IRISH HAT YOUR FACE WILL RIGHTFULLY BE PUNCHED IN THE FACE

what is it with these blurry squares on this and other videos?

I'm thinking most Americans couldn't give a shit about British restaurant and pub rules?

We are all led to believe that the USA is very forward and up to date - it is far from up to date - its like Pre War Britain and backward ,
