With pubs all over Britain closing at a rate of 52 per week, the role of the public house is called in to question by three writers who have spent many hours propping up the bar. Ian Marchant went on a nationwide pub crawl and wrote a book about his adventures, Simon Fanshawe remembers winding up the locals in 1970s Brighton, and Melissa Cole, who is also a professional beer taster, deconstructs one of the key phrases in drinking culture: 'fancy a pint?'
