So far from London

"The Fighting Cocks" is in the student center of Durham, a small university town north-east of England. From the outside appears to be the most typical of the pubs, the kind that really like English students: lights dim almost to the point of being painful, thick carpet, wooden tables and a large bouquet of beer.

Yet on Saturday night, unconscious and free of any injury, I have happened to us "Fighting Cocks". And there I found not a single student. Besides being a really nice little pub by the name "The Fighting Cocks" is also a sad symbol of the rift that exists in the relations between students and locals, people born and raised in Durham.
