I'm not ready for cocoa and slippers yet on an evening. Don't think I'll ever be ready for Bingo.
So where do we in betweeners go for a night out.
My cousin has been staying for a week so cue lots of eating out, nice long summer days , relatively warmish summer nights and not wanting to go straight home for a meal.
We didn't really want to sit in an estate pub. We wanted a nice lively pub with a bit of music that was current. Somewhere where we wouldn't look too out of place if we had a little bop ( not a waltz ) around the dance floor.
What we got. Went into an Irish bar. Great we thought. A bit of black velvet band , Galway girl...that'll do to to fill in a couple of hours till it is time for cocoa and slippers.
What we got. A pretty deserted bar. Hip hop, some kind of gangsta rap channel on the tv. Fair dos , it wasn't so loud that we couldn't think and we could hear one another speak without shouting to make our throats sore.
Then a group of 8 guys came in to have a game of snooker. Bizarrely the girl behind the bar notched the music up by 10 decibels the minute they set foot in the place.
Why?
Couldn't hear, couldn't speak. Drank our drinks and went up to the wetherspoons up the road which was a bit better. If you blotted out the young shrieking women of course.
So where are we meant to go. I've got a few good years left in me before the care home beckons I hope.
