I asked one of the Brits if pubs in the middle of the neighborhood were common. He explained the same as the article reported, but one thing interesting he told me. If I went in to get a pint, I would likely not be served; I would be ignored until I left. Outsiders were not usually welcome on their own.


Don't come back here yankee!
But if I ever do
I'll bring more money
Cause all she wants to do is dance! smile


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
