I don’t usually go to the pub on a weekday as it makes me too tired the next day. But Monday was so hot that I agreed to go along for an hour – and ended up staying all evening. I went along after work and was surprised how crowded the bar was for a Monday, and also how many underage drinkers there were (under 18s – they were over sixteen, but from their boisterous shouting were obviously being served alcohol).
Also there was a girl I have seen a number of times – blonde, slightly top-heavy, aged about twenty-five. She has a way of moving smoothly through an absolutely packed bar, getting through even the densest groups without pausing. She holds her drink high above her head, so that she resembles the Statue of Liberty.
The karaoke (which I didn’t get involved in!) featured World Cup songs. Julie went up twice, belting out Embrace’s World At Your Feet and Tony Christie’s Is This The Way in her Scottish accent (being half-English, she has no hang-ups about supporting the England team). Easily the most popular song of the evening was the Crazy Frog’s We Are The Champions Ding A Dang Dong – not a karaoke option but whenever it played on the jukebox everyone in the bar joined in.
