Ghost Town

[mallyh]

on Saturday I went out and it was like a ghost town no one about, I quite expected to see tumbleweed rolling down the street then I passed a pub and one almighty cheer came from it so I guessed England scored .x

What a great little story with a happy ending too.

The reason it was a ghost town was because we were too busy watching the footy :)




He's on the ball

It was like that in the supermarkets too.

It was brilliant apart from the number of buses that were missing.... unusually high staff sickness apparently

That was in reply to spath's 3-1 post

I thought I'd use England games to get all my shopping done with no queues and plenty of parking spaces, but no, I'm watching the footie too.

Broomstick in the garage, Rowan? :-)

On Saturday I was at a garden which had opened for charity. A car arrived very quickly and screeched to a halt. The woman passenger barely had time to get out and close the door before it sped away. As she came into the garden she looked at me and said "bloody football".

[ummmm]

Were you actually surprised?

No there havent been broom parking spaces since the sixteenth century anyway I dont drink and fly

Central London was surprisingly packed on Saturday afternoon.

No, they weren't all foreign tourists (and they weren't all there for the Pride parade either). So it seems that I wasn't the only one who wasn't interested in the footy.

However I have to admit that the pub I was in at three o'clock was probably a lot quieter than some of the others in the area ;-)

Rowan; plenty of broom parking spaces on the hill i can see from my window - Pendle. You'd surely feel at home, there :-)

Spath:
If the Lyceum Tavern sells peanuts they'll have to be their own brand because it's a Sam Smith's pub, where they only sell their own products. (There's no Guinness, Budweiser or anything else. All the beers, including their excellent wheat beer, are from their own brewery. All the wines and spirits are from their own vintners so, for example, there's no Famous Grouse or Jack Daniels. I seem to recall that even their crisps are 'own label' products. However they stick to the wonderful Sam Smith's policy of charging the same prices throughout the country, making their pubs the cheapest in London).

A pub with only one draught beer probably wouldn't attract me to it but, if it's an excellent pint, it might still be OK. (I can only drink one beer at a time!)
