There used to be a lovely old blue-stocking style lady who "held court" in the Flask. One evening there was a rather snobbish couple attending who kept appending "for people like us who live in Hampstead" to all their statements. "Oh, what part of Hampstead do you live in ?" the old lady enquired. "West Hamstead" replied the couple. "Is that British West Hamstead ?" was the retort.
