Greaves' Rules : ウィキペディア英語版 | Greaves' Rules
Greaves' Rules is a set of etiquette guidelines common in the UK for buying rounds of drinks in English public houses. The rules were first defined by William Greaves, a now (2011) retired London journalist of the defunct ''Today'' newspaper as a Saturday morning essay in the paper, based upon his long experience of pubs and rounds. They immediately attracted a wide following in drinking circles and are known internationally as a representation of the spirit of drinking in an English pub. == Overview == When an individual arrives at a pub, common practice invites the newcomer to unilaterally offer a drink to a companion, with the unspoken understanding that when the drink has been nearly consumed, his/her companion will reciprocate. Trust and fair play are the root of the rules, though there are occasions (such as a requirement of one of the drinkers to need to carry out more important jobs, if any can be conceived of) where the rules can be broken, and were itemised by Greaves in his article. See, for example a copy of Greaves' Rules in the Oxford Pub Guide, with particular reference to rule 7 and especially rule 8.〔http://www.oxfordpubguide.co.uk/rules.html〕
