И прочитаем про Five Alls:
Etymology: In reference to five different social groups, each characterized as an "all": the king, who governs all; the bishop, who prays for all; a lawyer, who pleads for all; a soldier, who fights for all, and a peasant, who pays for all. Traditionally pub names had a pictorial representation; the traditional image for the five alls had each figure in representative garb with his motto ("I govern all" etc.) underneath.

А в Дувре и в Filkins (Oxfordshire) вместо короля выступает дьявол :-)
В Йорке же пятёрку урезали до четвёрки, убрав адвоката. А в роли крестьянина/налогоплательщика/рабочего и вовсе Джон Буль :-)
А один товарищ и вовсе занялся этим делом профессионально :-)
Приятного чтения :-)
