The Great British Pub Culture, explained

Everyone in the pub is equal. It doesn’t matter who you are or how much you earn. Down the pub you’re the same as everyone else. It’s a social leveller which is needed in society. ❤

The locals hate the young people, but every time they talk to one for more than a minute, they'll announce that you're different and then go on a long tirade about your generation. Never realizing that if they like every young person they talk to, they in fact like our generation, just not the media's portrayal of our generation

Fun fact: some older pubs have two separate rooms because they used to keep men and women separate. I worked in a pub where the women's side had a carpeted floor to protect the flooring from high heels, and the men's side had a tiled floor because it was easier to clean 😂

The big thing nobody talks about is the how disgusting pubs actually smelled right after the smoking ban - the tabacco smoke masked 150 years of spilt beer, beer farts, and all the other shite that was trampled into the wood of the floor. Until the pub got the top layer of wood planed off, the pub air became unbreathable due to people being able to smell it.

You forgot one group, one of the most fun when you're part of it but the most annoying when you're not... The students! 😂

Love this. I work in an English pub in Canada, owned by a British man and his wife. Im a line cook and the menu is basically comfort foods my gramma raised me on (her mum was a British immigrant, married a soldier during WW2)

Was visiting family in England and went out to a pub on the "bad" side of town. The landlord was most impressed that my American ass was sat in his pub so he declared a lock in. Had a great time and met 2 lads who took me to a late night Indian restaurant. I was hurting the next day but had a great time and the hospitality was second to none.

Love these videos about British culture. As an American I could watch this all day. The amount of history you guys have just blows my mind. A 100 year old building here is considered ancient most of the time lol.

Weirdly enough central heating becoming widespread also hit pubs quite hard. Back in the day you'd go to the pub to keep warm rather than fork out for coal to heat your house all evening.

man forgot the traditional housing estate flatroof pub... common as fuck and if you sound even a little bit different to anyone in there you just get stabbed XD

I'm from NZ and one of the things I love here is our pub culture. its a bit different to the UK's but ultimately is an ofshoot of it.

The two doors is so people cant run away without paying, typically, one door will open inwards and one outwards, so you'd have to step back to open one, giving staff the time to catch up Also, pubs used to paint their walls a shade of yellow called tabbacco stained white, as painting the walls white would show stains over time Another another fact, pubs were named things like the white horse or the bell or the Queen's head, because the workers back in the 1800s couldn't read, so they'd see the sign hanging of a Queen's head or a running horse, and would infer that that was the name of the venue One more, the guinness book of world records was originally made to settle pub arguments (obviously before the internet) Love my bar facts :) they're not always 100% correct, but they're fun talking points

Went to the Lamb & Flag today actually, but yeah as an Aussie. I see a huge contrast in the culture here to home!

Britain's pub culture is something to be emulated.

Pubs are important. They are places where you can actually talk to a real person, rather than be a little drone "living your best life" through virtual domains

German Kneipen-Kultur is very similar to the British pub culture. Pubs are always a great place to feel welcomed and at home when you get a little homesick. Hope these cultures never die

4:33 Buildings with two sets of doors, or more so the room that is created inside of it, is called a vestibule. Helps to keep less outside air (and maybe soot in historical London) from entering the building. Generally just used for thermal efficiency these days.

I lived in a small town on Vancouver Island in Canada for about four years. I remember shortly before I left, the local pub that had been there since 1936 was closed and bought by a developer who was going to demolish it and build condos. It was such an incredibly sad day. Everyone deserves a local pub. In that brief four year span I made a bunch of friends in that pub, went to karaoke nights, played pool, and became a regular. The thought of it becoming a soulless condo is truly tragic

When I was 18 I backed packed across England and Wales. I really enjoyed going to the pubs after I was done doing my tourist activities for the day. I found that everyone was really nice and friendly. Especially in the small towns but also in the big cities.
