+1, this is also my interpretation.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not my interpretation of "theme." Most pubs I've been in, themes have</div><div>been about decor. Like the pub named "Walpurgisnacht" and decorated</div><div>accordingly, but there were no battles against witchcraft there. Like</div><div>the pub with many shelves of books, which nobody read. Like</div><div>the pub with a fake tree built into a corner. Like the pub called The</div><div>Buccaneer, decked out [pun intended] as a sailing ship, but there</div><div>were no acts of piracy.</div><div><br></div><div>"Theme" is the wrong word to use. A pub with many pool tables</div><div>is not themed around playing pool. A pub with many dart boards</div><div>for practise by its darts team is not themed around darts. Right</div><div>now I can't think of a good word for a pub specializing in a</div><div>particular interest (many pool tables rather than just one), but</div><div>"theme" isn't it,</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div></div></div>
