The show comprises sketches involving exaggerated parodies of British people from all walks of life in various situations familiar to the British. These sketches are presented to the viewer together with narration in a manner which suggests that the programme is a guide — aimed at non-British people — to the ways of life of various classes of British society.
Lou and Andy are two of the most popular characters in the show. Lou is kind, generous and incredibly patient, and he spends his spare time helping his friend Andy, who is in a wheelchair. Andy is moody, contrary, has no respect for other sentient beings, appears to be unintelligent, has no interest in the world outside his local area, is very fat and plain lazy.
Do you know Little Britain? Do you know any other British comedies?

SANDRA KARAQUELI:
1- PUB: PHILIP'S UNCLE'S BOAT.
2- ON THE TABLE there are five empty pints of beer, three coasters, one glass of juice, I guess; an ashtray, and some bags of chips. The unusual thing I suppose it's that the five pints of beer are in front of the paraplegic man; but that it's no so strange in Britain.
3- They look the same... but inside of an english bar can happen everything!!! but I guess the most important difference is in the glasses, because they drink pints of beer, and we drink "cañas".
4- the origin of the word pub is Public House.
5- A pint is 1/2 liter.
6- Miles, yards, pounds...
1.Philip´s uncle´s boat.
2.I think the most inusual thing on the table is five empty glasses of beer, Andy must be a great drinker.
3.Lou is worried about they have to go home and Andy seems to need to go toilet after drinking five pints. But Andy says he doesn´t need it.
4.It describes a difficult situation or a situation that has a hard solution.
5.I think main differences are: in an english pub you can find larger glasses than in a spanish pub; in englis pubs there are carpets on the floor and in a spanish pub you can find more elaborate food.

1.It´s short for a public house wich used to be a stop for carriages where the passengers could rest and get refreshment and was open to everybody in opposite to a private members club.
2.1 pint = 0,473037 litres.
3.inch, foot, yard, mile, gallon, gill, grain, ounce, stone...
1.- According to the narrator, “PUB” is an acronym for “Philip’s Uncle’s Boat.
2.- On the table there are five empty glasses of beer, and a half-empty glass of a red liquid –that could be the unusual thing for an English pub: ¿a glass of tomato juice instead of a pint of beer. Also, on the table there are empty bags of chips and an ashtray.
3.- Lou is worried because he knows Andy is going to want to go to the toilet when they are in the car, in their way to home.
4.- “Kerfuffle” is a synonym for “mess”. You can say “this is a kerfuffle” when something is untidy and dirty, just like the table we can see in the picture.
5.- In my point of view, English pubs are quite different from the Spanish ones. With regard to design, for example, traditional English pubs are usually made from wood, they have carpets on the floor and they have a good central heating. I would say traditional English pubs are like a second home for many Englishmen, because it’s a common thing in England going to the pub when the work is finished. Many English people usually go to the pub after work to spend the time drinking, talking with their friends, playing public games like “quiz games”, watching their favourite football team or listening live music. I think English pubs are warmer and friendly than the Spanish ones.

1.- The origin of the word “pub” is Public House. Like I said previously, traditional English pubs are like a second home or a public house.
2.- It depends. In the UK, a paint is equivalent to 568, 26125 ml but in the USA, a paint is equivalent to 473, 17647 ml.
3.- Gallons, gills, fluid drams, ounces...
Excellent answers, Sandra, Manuel and Pilar! Well done!!!!!

I am agree with the others comments but in the second cuestion the unusual thing I think There aren´t coasters under glases, this is something usual in Spain but not in UK.
The cuestion number four "Kefuffle" is to put into disorder or disarray.
And What is the origin of the word 'pub'?
I am agree with the others comments too but may be " Push up bra ".
And I think that the English pubs in Spain are very similar to the English pubs in Spain.
