"The English Pub"
Is it's actual name, in Reykjavik. I made the mistake of agreeing to have ice in my cider and was rewarded with a half and half; half a pint of ice and half a pint of cider. This was draught as well.
On the up side it was ok cider (Kopparberg, I think) and not some Special Brew equivalent.
tl;dr never let an Icelander put ice in your drink if it's on draught. This probably applies more generally as well.
As for encounters with Brits, they mostly consisted of English tourists on Spanish beaches struggling to ask me things in stuttering, phrasebook Spanish before I interrupted them with the 'Actually, I'm not Spanish...' spiel.
