If the pub won't go to me, I'll go to the pub

We've put an offer in on a house in Walton.

It has a Wetherspoons within 100 yards in one direction (not great) and two pubs on the banks of the River Thames in the other! Fab!

We've been there twice in two days, but I didn't take any photos. If the offer is accepted, then I will put them up and invite you to a night of drinking and near drowning on the river. Hurrah!

And in related news...

Last orders for the lunchtime pint
"Is the lunchtime pint facing extinction? Only a minority of companies now allow staff to drink during the working day..."

Although I'd make the argument that it was never a matter of whether it was ALLOWED or not... most places probably don't allow it (so you can be disciplined if you over-do it), but will turn a blind eye to a swifty on a Friday lunchtime. Well at least I HOPE that's the case...

And this may help you to recognise your colleagues when they return:

"It was not unusual to see some of the monkeys stumble and fall, sway, and vomit," Chen added. "In a few of our heavy drinkers, they would drink until they fell asleep."
