is it really how they are called? as in you walk into the pub and say "landlord, a pint of sumthin-sumthin"?

My old man was a landlord for 20 years as although he never owned the pub, his name was above the door as the licensee - in Norfolk, most of the locals would call him landlord - in a city boozer - no you wouldn't hear it, only in the more 'local joints' and only when addressing the licensee.
