Christopher Fowler Quote
The public house is virtually the country’s last unassailable place, now that so many churches lock their doors. For hundreds of years it has occupied a unique position in our culture. What’s the one thing every pub is supposed to have?’ ‘I don’t know.’ Land scratched at his chin. ‘At least two brands of bad lager?’ ‘A welcoming hearth created by centuries of tradition. Wasn’t it Hilaire Belloc who once said When you have lost your inns drown your empty selves, for you will have lost the last of England?
