| your first clue might have been that it does not say "zip code" in either the field label or the error message, it says "postcode". |

| Australia and NZ have postcodes, too. If they had made this a .co.uk rather than a .com, there would be no confusion. |

| The site has since changed the content from when I made the comment. It used to say zip code in the label and error. |

| Or the term "pub." In the US it's much more usual to say "bar." Maybe "tavern" but that sounds rather dated to my ear. |

| ▲ | toasterlovin 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | My sense is that it is an affectation meant to indicate an aspiration to something more than a bar (and its coarse patrons). | |

| ▲ | tshaddox 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | "Bar" is certainly the catch-all term in the U.S., but "pub" is also very widely understood to refer to a specific type of bar, especially (but not limited to) bars deliberately styled as Irish or British pubs. | | |
| ▲ | tracker1 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Along a similar note, I hate when a Bar is labelled as a "Pub" and doesn't serve food. IMO, in the US, if it's labelled a "pub" it should serve food. | | |

| ▲ | badc0ffee 3 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Do they make you order food with every round of drinks? I remember hearing about places like that from my dad, and it seems it would have worked better in the era of cheap drinks/low built-in alcohol taxes. | |
| ▲ | tracker1 33 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | I'm nut sure I'd go that far... it's just I expect a "Pub" to include pub food. |

| ▲ | 9rx 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | "Pub" is a fairly common term throughout the world. But "pub that needs you" made it pretty obvious that it was about pubs in England. | | |
| ▲ | thebruce87m an hour ago | parent [-] | | Did it? I put my postcode in and got nothing. It took browsing the map to discover it had no results for Scotland at all. | | |
| ▲ | 9rx 43 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Yes. Being on the other side of the world, I've only ever heard of efforts to save English pubs. Thus, without more details, one knows that is what is being referred to. Perhaps Scotland has the same kind of movement happening at the local level, but something on a global website implies global context. | | |
