So I went down to the new Weatherspoons last Saturday night and it ain't half bad to be fair. You can get a pint of English lager for £1.76 and a fry up for £2.46.
Trouble wasn't far away however. Along with English prices come English rules. "Time" is rang from a bell and when its rang it literally means time's up. Paddy doesn't understand this concept though and when he was told no more alcohol was forthcoming, all hell broke loose. A Barman was pulled across the counter and another staff member had their head stuck into a Mop bucket. Tables were overturned and glasses smashed. One individual leapt across the bar and tried to pull himself a pint. The revellers were eventually marshalled out of the place but still with an unquenched thirst and confusion about what just happened, they forced their way into the next nearest pub and duly wrecked that one too.
It would appear there will be a period of adaptation before this new phenomenon takes hold. I can't wait.
No seriously, I can't wait. I'll not be down there again in a hurry!
PS Kiwi, what's your PM getting up to?
