A gastropub is a British term for a public house ("pub") which specialises in high-quality food a step above the more basic "pub grub." The name is a portmanteau of pub and gastronomy and was coined in 1991 when David Eyre and Mike Belben opened a pub called The Eagle in Clerkenwell, London. They placed an emphasis on the quality of food served, though The Eagle was not the first pub to offer good food.
Gastropubs usually have an atmosphere which is relaxed and a focus on offering a particular cuisine prepared as well as it is in the best restaurants. Staying true to the format requires a menu that complements the assortment of beers and wines the gastropub offers.
Thanks to Reference.com ;D

It's also nice to see Ray and Dave agree on something. True. There should be some kind of parade.

Done.
BTW, I found it disconcerting that iPetitions asks you for money after you've "signed" the petition. I don't know who these folks are and I'm not sure I want to support them financially. I figured out how to exit without paying, but it seemed a little dodgy to me.

That's great, Frank! It was good to see so many letters in support of the memorabilia. Fingers crossed.
