LISTENING: English Pubs.

Here is a listening telling us about an important aspect of British culture: Pubs. In Britain, pubs are not places where young people go to listen to music and dance. To do that, young people go "clubbing", that is, they go to clubs (the word "discotheque" is not used very often now). Actually, the word "pub" is short for "public house", because originally they were just that, houses where all the villagers could go, sit by the fire, play darts or have something to eat and drink. Nowadays they are more like bars and restaurants, where you can have a pint of beer or eat fish and chips, but they are still a place where the people in the area meet and socialise.
