If I assume by the word "Pub" that they are in the UK, their country has only existed for 103 years. Obviously, that doesn't mean the end of the people, or the pubs, just the end of that system of government and/or territorial border.
There's no shame in it. Constitutions and bills of rights need to be updated as people become more enlightened and civilized. The US would certainly be better off if it had had more constitutional amendments over these 250 years. Maybe then it wouldn't need a revolution.
Mate, the UK has existed for a touch over 103 years.
Depends on what you are counting as the start and end of a country like ours. In our current state/make up of countries, it's 103 years, when the Irish Free State left in 1922.
By that reckoning the US has only been around since 1959.
