I think it's to do with the shape of the place and arrangement of the furniture, it just seems to encourage conversation.

I do love a pub that encourages that sort of thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-54870667518758582962014-08-21T22:31:10.556+01:002014-08-21T22:31:10.556+01:00Agree (not with Tim).
