So, what is the difference between a "Pub & Restaurant" and a "Bar Restaurant"? Enquiring minds need to know!

In Spain there are several different types of licence. Cafe concerto (Which is what I had ) allowed you to have live music bands, Cafe cortado was something to do with no music what so ever ,Publique estandardo was just a juke box, but those others are probably a failure in language translations.

Professor Barrie Dobson

Professor Barrie Dobson, who has died aged 81, was a medieval historian with a particular interest in monasticism and the northern Church, in particular the diocese of York; he was also an authority on the legend of Robin Hood.

Was there ever a real Robin Hood? In an interview in 1997 Dobson said: “All one can say now with some degree of certainty is by about the middle of the 13th century, you seem to know that the name Robin Hood, or 'Robehod’, had emerged as a compound surname for robbers, often a surname they adopted themselves.”

Either Robin Hood was the creation of “some storyteller” or “singer of rhymes”; or there had been a real robber so successful that stories had begun to be woven around his exploits. “He would, of course, almost certainly not be called Robin Hood literally,” Dobson said. “That wouldn’t be his real name, because it would have been almost inconceivable that with the name Robehod somebody really called Robin Hood would adopt the same name.” Dobson speculated that the Robin Hood we have come to know had probably been a highwayman operating north of Doncaster between 1300 and 1340 — a time when there were particularly rich pickings in that area.

Explaining the character’s enduring appeal, Dobson cited “the theme of the outlaw... who brings justice back to the society which had become corrupted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, or whoever it might have been”.
