The British pub
Text
One day David Hill invited a few participants to a pub. The participants were happy to satisfy their curiosity and they accepted the invitation willingly. In the evening they went to the nearest pub.
Pubs are "typically English". Most pubs are friendly and relaxed places where visitors can have some beer and, usually, a simple meal. These days one can also get wine in most pubs. Many also serve coffee, but not tea. You go to the bar to order and pay for your drink. A typical lunch in a pub is a "ploughmans" — bread, cheese and pickle, and sometimes a little salad.
Pubs are not open all day. The owners themselves can decide when to open. Most open for 3 or 4 hours at lunchtime and again from about 6 p. m. to about 11 p. m. In busy areas, pubs may stay open from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m.
Here is the talk between David and Sergei:
Sergei: This looks nice.
David: I like it too. 1 sometimes come here with my friends Let me buy you a few drinks.
What would you like to have?
Sergei: Thank you. Just a minute. Well, two halves of bitter and one half of lager, if you
please.

Barman): And four packs of crisp.
Barman: Seven pounds ninety.
David: Here you are... Thank you... Let's go to that table over there. Cheers!
Sergei: Cheers! Ah, very good beer, indeed.
David: I'm not a beer addict but I like it.... Would you like the game of darts? It's very popular in our pubs.

David: Certainly, come on.... You take three darts...
