That takes me back a few years, My girlfriend used to work in Oxford, so every couple of weeks I'd end up in one of those pubs.

An American guy I know who did a year (or two?) at Oxford had the following to say about that article:

They left out the part about how these pubs are run entirely by American slave labor--about 6 dollars an hour w/out tips, I seem to recall. Oh, Lamb and Flag...with your tasty half-price fish and chips. I couldn't quit you.

Well it's either them, australians or south africans.

my particular memory are the stuffed armchairs in the Irish pub on Botley road.
