Larry, sounds like you know different villages to me... I know villages with no pubs, many with one pub, some with 2 pubs but few with more than that...

Most pubs I know are mixed - even the pub I will be going to for a session tonight which is in the CITY of Norwich and has Irish landlords is likely to be showing a European league football (soccer) match on TV when I get there as well as pool and other games being played. The session will wait (im)patiently for the match to end before starting... Tends to be an excellent session too...
