Woody is an English Bulldog. He didn’t look too happy considering he was in a pub! A very friendly boy.
The nearest chap doesn't look too absorbed in the rugby match (South Africa won against Scotland 18-3) being shown on the television in the pub adjacent to Oxted railway station. The other two gents seem slightly more interested.
That's the beauty of using a mobile on silent mode, it's great for candid photos. On this occasion one of the tv screens was right above my head, so an ideal place to get people looking to the 'camera'.
... mal nécessaire ...?
... les plus perspicaces auront bien sûr reconnu Pixel derrière l'affiche ...
"au secours !!! ... enlevez-moi ce truc ...!"
... bien sûr, cliquer sur la pub ne vous mènera nulle part (et puis quoi encore!) ... juste à voir l'affiche ... et l'oreille de Pixel en pleine résolution ...
The Shipperies pub is located on Durning Road in Kensington,Liverpool.
It was built to accommodate visitors to the International Exhibition of Navigation, Travelling, Commerce and Manufacture (known as the Shipperies Exhibition) which held in the nearby Exhibition Hall on Edge Lane in 1886.
RICH chapter in Sydney's pub culture will come to an end this weekend when Harald and Trish Muller pour their last beers at the iconic East Sydney Hotel.
All they hope is that the commitment they made 15 years ago to keep one of Sydney's oldest pubs forever free of pokies, doesn't eventually follow them out the door.
When pokies were introduced to pubs in 1999, the Mullers were one of the few publicans to reject them. It was a decision that has afforded the pub an icon status among rivals.
"I refused to take part in ripping off working class people," Mr Muller says.
"And that's what they were designed to do. They were designed to take money off families who can least afford it."
It was this decision, they claim, that has been the key to the success and survival of one of Sydney's oldest pubs, first built on the corner of Crown and Cathedral streets in 1856 as the Shamrock Hotel.
"We said we would keep it in the tradition of what a pub was designed for in the first place…a wonderful meeting place," he says.
"And we have proven the point that you can make a good living out of a pub without pokies."
But after 35 years, they have finally sold out of the pub business. "We want to now enjoy the fruits of our labour," Muller says.
That labour included many days and nights working behind their own bar.
"It's probably why we didnt go broke, " Muller jokes.
"But in all that time, we have never had a fight in this pub, we've never had security. And we've never had a pokie machine.
"It's sad to leave but, it was time to move on, to do something different."
The new owners, a Sydney family, are believed to be committed to keeping the pokie ban.

"Often described as Scotland’s most haunted pub, part of The Banshee Labyrinth is located in some of the city’s underground vaults. It is also rumoured to be occupied by a banshee! The story goes that a group of workmen once heard a blood-curdling scream coming from the depths of the pub and a few hours later one of the men found out that a member of his family had died. There are also reports of drinks flying off tables and smashing into walls." [ inlingua-edinburgh.co.uk ]

Royal Standard of England, Englands oldest freehouse:
In Roman Britain, Rome encouraged the Saxon ex-legionaries to settle here in the Chilterns Catuvellauni Kingdom. Families were granted land on which to build and remnants of Iron Age hill forts can be seen near Gerrards Cross and West Wycombe. The Romans started a brick and tile kiln industry in this area, which lasted for around 1400 years. Roman power had ended by 410AD and many more settlers came from Northern Europe - mostly German tribes, Angles, Jutes and Saxons. Taking a walk in the footpaths across the road towards Lude Farm you will see remains of tiles in the soil from an old Roman brick kiln. The heavily wooded Chilterns became an area of resistance by Romano-Celtic Britons tribes that were pushed off their lands by these new settlers. The Saxons were huge ale drinkers coming from lands rich in barley. King Alfred of Wessex had a deer park here and the West Saxons brewed ale here on this site because they had a good supply of water from the old Romano-British well in the garden. The Saxon alewife (the brewer was nearly always a woman) would put a green bush up on a pole to let the locals know the ale was ready. The Brewster’s cottage became the alehouse because it was used as the meeting house for cottagers and tile-makers in the hamlet, who farmed and worked communally by sharing the open fields and woods. Here they could resolve any disputes, barter and make a toast to the goddess of barley. To drink water until 1900’s was to risk your life. Beer was the safest drink -We think it still is!
England consisted of a mix of Anglo-Saxons and Celtic Britons over the next five centuries who eventually united when faced with the threat of Viking invaders. In 1009 and 1010 the last Viking raids took place, they arrived by their longboats along the river Thames at Hedsor Wharf. Here, there was an old Saxon palisade fort where the old Roman bridge crossed the Thames on the Camlet Way. Our Saxon alehouse survived the raids of the Dark Ages because of its secluded location just out of reach of the Thames. The alehouse kept its independence as a Freehouse and avoided being incorporated in the large Lude Estate across the road from the pub, which then belonged to the old Wessex family - the Godwines. Earl Harold Godwine became King Harold II who fell at the Battle of Hastings. The first Royal Standard of England banner was a gold dragon – the same symbol was used as the war banner of the royal house of Wessex. The Norman Conquest was a military expedition without settlers, so life for the alehouse did not change from 1066 (Despite the fact that the Norman rulers thought the Anglo-Saxons drank too much ale!). The alehouse was one of the few places that people could be free of the burden of their new feudal rulers.
No longer a working pub unfortunately, but at least the facade has been preserved. Tontine Street, Folkestone, UK.

A two-shot panorama of the Salisbury Public House at 90 St Martin's Lane, London.
It was built in 1892 as a restaurant called the Salisbury Stores, evident by the double 'S' etched into the windows. Six years later it was transformed into the pub we see today.
The gentleman on the pub sign is the Marquess of Salisbury, three times Prime Minister from 1885 to 1901. His family once owned the freehold on the property. This was the boom decade for Victorian pubs.
The refurbishment was an expensive and lavish affair. Huge mirrors, cut and etched glass and gleaming mahogany, created a dazzling interior. But perhaps the most extravagant items are the art nouveau light-fittings; beautiful bronze nymph figures support long stemmed flowers, with lightbulbs at their centre. These electric lights showed Victorian customers that this was an upmarket and modern pub.
The Salisbury is well placed for both Theatreland and Covent Garden. - From www.pubs.com
sat the camera on timer mode on the bench in the pub right in front of our snoozing hound for a long exposure so no flash to disturb the sleeping pooch!
