Bless your friend's heart. I hope the trip isn't taxing on his sensibilities.

My native city, St. Albans, about 20 miles North of London, is one of the contenders for oldest pub. Ye Old Fighting Cocks is certainly very pretty and once a pigeon house. The city emblem is the Saltire, which is quite something for England.

Now that's surprising , I would have thought the world's oldest pub may have dated back to right after the origin of alcohol .
