I didn't know you were still coming to the Pubs Galore Bar, John. You should have given me a shout. I've been to 45 different pubs since they reopened on 4 July; 63 pub visits altogether, which works out at just over one pub per day. However, there have been 19 days (out of 57 - so one in three) when I've not been to a pub at all, which compares with 11 out of 80 (1 January to 20 March) before lockdown. This place is a good standby, and you don't have to sign in or scan a QR code. You just open your beer, pour it into whichever glass looks like it's reasonably clean and sit yerself down. Some of the other punters can be a bit rough, but you're all right, John. You're my mate, you are.
Hic! Acshurley, I gotta level with you, John. I had a couple of beers earlier in here while watching the Leeds Rhinos on the box. Picture was bloody crap. Had to keep on refreshing the screen, if you know what I mean. Between you and me, John, I reckon it's a bit dodgy. And the beer I had, Harveys Sussex Best Bitter 4.0%, it tasted ok, but I got a look at the can when the fella wasn't looking and it said "best before end 11/06/20", which by my reckoning is almost three months ago. Tasted ok, but there's something dodgy about this place, I'm tellin' yer. So I went down the hill to the Wellington, lovely pint of Reedley Hallows Beer O'Clock 3.8%. So I had another - so what if it's brewed in Lancashire, I'm broadminded, that's what I am. Tolerant. If the beer's good, I'll drink it. (Some of my best friends voted for Brexit.) And here I am, back at the old place again, and I see you was 'ere earlier. Sorry to've missed yer. I'm gonna go for a lie down now. Night, John. Mind how yer go. Oh, by the way. Have you seen Mick lately? He used to be in here a lot. Tell 'im I said hello if you see him.
