Sometimes I’ll go out to a coffee shop around lunchtime and one of the nearby coffee shops is next door to a pub. By about 1pm on most weekdays that pub is usually packed with people wearing suits (or who were likely wearing suits but removed their jackets). It’s a bit a mystery to me what sort of jobs they have where that is acceptable.



I assumed it's estate agents and if London the old school insurance guys like at Lloyd's. Otherwise the back office folks like accountants that no one checks on :)


Nobody can get drunk from couple of beers ... especially the colored spring water they sell in the UK.


The beer in the UK is quite strong though compared to Spain where I live now where it's basically all lager.

Where do you live where it is considered really weak?


Eastern Europe. Not that our beer is much stronger but we don't bother to consider it alcohol. It's just something you drink during the day.


I’m definitely at the tired, unmotivated, and imprecise stage after one 5% beer.
