Besides that, I always get British tourits coming up to the bar and pick up 
the drinks themselves even if there's table service, few days ago I had a 
group of fifteen going back and forth to the bar to get their drinks , and I 
wondered why should one go and pick a drink when you can have a waiter doing 
that for you? I think I've found the answer, the old pub habit of getting the 
drink at the bar, (there's no table service in British pubs) probably follows 
the Brits even away from home, I guess....right?
