In the United Kingdom, the owner and/or manager of a pub, or public house, is usually called the "landlord/landlady", and often, strictly incorrectly, "publican", the latter properly the appellation of a Roman public contractor or tax farmer.
The Licensed Trade Charity, formed in 2004 from the merger of the Society of Licensed Victuallers and Licensed Victualler's National Homes,[REF] exists to serve the retirement needs of Britain's pub landlords.
