[edit] Plot
Frasier is losing interest in everything he and Niles do together, such as their wine clubs. He decides to try other things, such as Martin's poker game that night with Roz, Duke, Frank, Leo and Jimmy. After giving up due to not understanding Duke's rules, Frasier goes with Daphne to an English pub, The Fox & Whistle.
At first Frasier doesn't fit in with the other British expats, but soon is playing pool, singing songs, and throwing back pints of beer with all the other patrons. Daphne thinks Frasier will go home soon, but Frasier enjoys it and wants to go again.When Frasier starts going to the pub every night, Daphne feels that Frasier is invading her turf, and Niles feels neglected. Daphne is worried and cross - her place where she goes to get away from the Cranes has been invaded by Frasier. Martin suggests she tell him, but when she does it is revealed Daphne has only been going there a month - just 2 more weeks than Frasier has.
Frasier and Daphne decide to have a game of darts to see who will be the bar regular. Both do well, but Frasier has started saying a few anti-Brit comments. And everyone else can hear him
Meanwhile we see flashbacks to Frasier and Niles in elementary school where we learn they haven't changed a bit.
The title of the episode is a reference to Frasier's previous sitcom Cheers's tagline, "Where everybody knows your name."

[edit] Memorable Quotes
- In a flashback to Frasier and Niles at school, the pair don't think much of the lunch in the cafeteria:
Young Niles: This lunch is a culinary Hindenburg!
- Niles is on the phone to someone:
Niles: Bravo! Excellente! Bellissimo! You'll never guess who that was?
Frasier: The Three Tenors
- Niles sees Frasier is restless with his usual routine, and searches for different things for them to do:
Niles: There's a wonderful lecture series on the history of Modern Lecture Series.
- Martin thinks Frasier fit in with his friends as he doesn't know any dirty jokes like Roz does:
Frasier: If that's the criteria, I'll bet I could tell a story or two that'll make you blush like a schoolgirl!
Martin: That's what I'm afraid of.
- Frasier is very quick to dismiss Daphne's suggestion of meeting her friend Claire for a date:
Frasier: I think by now you would know my policy on fix-ups.
Daphne: She's pretty, she's lonely and she's an underwear model.
Frasier: So you do know my policy!
- Daphne is ill, and also tired of Frasier always being at her English pub:
Frasier: You've got to be careful what you bring down to the pub with you.
Daphne: Tell me about it (!!)
- Niles' gift of an antique saddle for Maris was a disaster:
Niles: Apparently the oils in the saddle reacted badly with her cellulite cream, creating a poweful epoxy
- Frasier is winning in his darts match against Daphne:
Frasier: I score again!
Daphne: That's not something we hear out of your mouth very often!
