E

Everywhere there are plenty of pubs, in which people play darts, talk and drink, usually while standing up. Every pub has its names, its sign and its regulars, its customers who turn up night after night. A few old pubs have real character but many are dull and ugly. It seems that the English think it rather indecent（不象样的）for people to drink alcoholic drinks in any place where they can be seen from outside. So pubs usually not only have no tables outside, but are so built that it is impossible for people outside to see in, or for those who are inside to see out. There are exceptions to this, but not many. Pubs are meeting places for working men after the evening meal. With pint glasses filled with beer—in Scotland the national drink is whisky –they argue about football, the races, cars…The traditional pub was a place for the men only. But things have changed, and more and more pubs are now places where men and women sit at tables, and they often provide good lunches. Most of them have a public bar, where drinks are slightly cheaper, and a saloon bar, which middle—class people usually prefer because it is more comfortable and less crowded.
