  Peobably like arguing about the oldest pub in England or the meaning of Stonehenge. Come back in ten years and get another opinion.

  DMcN @ 6, define "pub"! I think the George at Norton St. Philip was selling ale to the passers-by back when it was still part of a monastery, as opposed to giving it to them, so if that makes it a pub back then it predates the Nottingham one that is generally thought to hold the title. There are probably others too.
  
  Stonehenge is a bunch of stones about which the only thing that was known back in the nineteenth century was that a chip from one of the stones there would rid your well of frogs.

  CG 7, Yes, that's the problem. The Royal Oak in Winchester claims to be the oldest bar in England and the Fighting Cocks in St Albans is one of seven claiming to be the oldest pub. I've drunk in both of them.
