So it would be a spirit shop, which might just sound, hmmm, weird. I reckon it's also to do with licencing laws, so that you can sell beer after hours or before the pubs open. Hell if I know: I don't really drink. But there are off-licences all over here and I assume UK too.

Point of fact, restaurants we call restaurants, smaller ones cafes, the Brits sometimes call them "caffs" (you probably say diner) and then there are the Italian Bistros, which, oddly, we call bistros.

Every day I die a little more inside.
