When you visit a new town, first go to a pub.

Train north from London. Northampton is an hour and a half ride through endless prairies, factories and bedroom communities to the grandeur of the recently completed Wembley Stadium.

This is a town unfamiliar to Japanese people, but it is truly a pub country in England, with pubs lined up everywhere. LLOYDS BAR is located on the main street with banks and apparel shops, and many people use it as a meeting place.

The area has a long history of pubs, which have undergone many changes and renovations, and is still a place of recreation and relaxation for the citizens.

Beer is also available from noon.

I met my friend at the restaurant during lunch time, ordered a drink and went to the counter. Surprised in Japan? It may be true, but my genuine English friend without hesitation ordered John Smith's (£1.6) which is characterized by its creaminess.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" he said, adding that he had roasted chicken (£5.99) with lemonade during the day. The spicy sauce called peri peri style was the best match for the juicy chicken that was thoroughly cooked in the oven.

We have a variety of drinks at a bargain price.	Bitter John Smith's

The shop looks like a big family.

After dinner, I looked around the restaurant and saw businessmen wearing neckties, grandfathers enjoying a lunch, mothers with children, young people gathering with friends, men and women of all ages, like a big family. Usually, music videos are played on the screen, and when sports are broadcast, you can enjoy the atmosphere of family watching.
