Hi More.coffy. I spotted your comment about the reference desks and thought I'd just say a little about "rounds". This was central to traditional pub culture. When a small group – say three to six – went drinking, each member in turn would offer to go to the bar and buy a "round" of drinks for the whole group whenever the previous round was nearly finished. Of course anyone could refuse a drink in any round, but all in the group were expected to "get a round in" at some stage. The custom still goes on, but is less prevalent now as many pubs that were beer-drinking dens have closed, and others have converted to be more like restaurants with a bar attached, largely attended by families.
Is this for something you're writing for Wikipedia? A fascinating assembly of detail on British pub culture at a time when there was almost a pub on every street corner can be found, if you can get hold of it, in Mass-Observation, The Pub and the People, London, Gollancz, 1943; reprinted Seven Dials Press, 1971.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Golden Book of Cycling, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eileen Sheridan ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
