A publican used to be the name of the person who held the licence for licenced premises in the UK. Since the licensing act 2003, they hold a Personal Licence, and are known as the Designated Premises Supervisor. (I hold a licence but no longer work in alcohol retail).
A publican is still a tax collector. In British slang the word is used to mean the manager of a pub. A contemporary translation of the Bible is likely to use an expression such as "tax collector" where the Authorized King James Version (published in 1611) has "publican."
Hardee har har mate! Thanks I needed this today. WTF is a "publican" and why doesn't Mr. Dare's face appear in this marvellous performance? Big thumbs up anyway brother. I love it.
@Rikkyhardo hahaha! I was raised as a fundamentalist church and always thought a publican was a tax man. You make this very clear distinction and I appreciate it old boy!
It's realy sad how people are more insular now. Times were you used to know everyone in the area, now you'd do well to know everyone in your street.. Flamin' heck, what has happened to the good old British way of life.
@frankiehiyo yup ... times were when if it got snowed up, every one dug out the front of their properties, and iffen the person was old or infirm next door then you went and did it for 'em
A pub is'nt a pub without the smell of smoke and stale lager.
It is sad that we have so many cameras covering just about every path and road yet .. Anything happens to you there was no camera on that specific spot

@honkydudeman thanks mate, i live out in the sticks in North yorks, and of the six pubs within 5 mins drive three have closed and are private dwelling now. They were all thriving boozers ten years ago. 20yrs ago you were lucky to get standing space in them on a friday or saturday night
Fantastic vid chich. One of me favourites. I have heard the Dubliners' version before but not this one. One thing though - bit concerned about that cloud formation behind the log with "the pub with no beer" carved on it.
Let's face it political correctness has gone so far, it won't be long before Rolf's song will be prophetic and pubs will be banned from selling beer-LOL!
Pubs are closing all the time owing to PC ... not allowing cigs to be smoked by their customers ... although I am a reformed smoker, is this not the last nail in the coffin for the local boozer ... beer and cigs were always a pair
@Rikkyhardo i`ve never smoked and i no longer spend my life in boozers but its complete bollocks banning smoking you cant even take dogs in most pubs now `cos they are eating houses
Totally agree with you ... have you noticed the number of pubs that have shut down, especially in small villages, we are being controlled more and more. Big Brother ain't far away mate

A publican is the guy who manages the pub like your barman.

I'm sorry but you can't blame the banning of smoking for the failing of pubs, as majority of Australians don't smoke anymore...
kezz11 2 years ago
but perhaps the people who frequent the pub are usually 80% more likely to smoke?
