Sorry, the pubs name is not 'The Man' but is called 'The Salutation',he mentioned something about a salutation in his post and so I assumed he frequented that pub in Ipswich, but then I don't know where he was born and raised and studied in the UK.

Being in Asia, I do miss an honest to goodness english tavern sometimes, the smoky smell, decent grub, and real ale on tap. Mind, like you I am perfectly happy with a glass or two of red inside though.
