Many thanks for these incisive points. Personally, I'd go for a drop of cervisia in front of a fire.

Fascinating - but two points:
1. - what might be the role of the English WEATHER in this custom ? If you
are waiting about to meet someone or to do something, isn't a place out of
the rain and wind desirable ? In your average village or small town, what
other sheltered, neutral location would there be ? (A porch of private house
would not be neutral. Covered markets were rare. )
