The British at Play
Yup, I can use that title afresh because although I've used it to head a paragraph before, never a whole article. N'yer.
Take a pub. Any pub. For instance, the pub I was in the other night. Just as an example. Fill it full of middle aged and older drinkers, just like you and me. Oh well, OK, like me. You readers of course are all young and lovely and not seeing any grey hairs at all.
Ahem.
Anyway, I'm digressing. What is the proper reaction to the fire alarm going off very loudly indeed? Clearly, look around - see if anybody else is is leaving then return to your pint with a shrug. Not one table emptied, not one person moved. Including me. Oh well, if you're going to burn to death, neck a pint of strong bitter first to numb the pain, right?
