to be in the pub on my own with a pint, a cake and a book?

[Workyticket]

Dh and 2ds' are at the match. We're going to a family house party near the ground after so I came into town shopping.

Forgot it was Sunday and that the shops shut early - and to be fair, I'm shit at shopping and got bored quickly

I bought a book and am on my 2nd pint (but 1st cake)

Text a pal and she thinks I'm weird and should have gone to a coffee shop instead of the pub!

Well I wouldn't eat cake with beer just for the taste mix but in all other respects yanbu..totally would do pub with a book

Sounds great!

That sounds amazing, not weird at all. I'm currently hiding in my bedroom for 5 minutes peace from my 2 under 4, consider me jealous!

It's cider and a fudge cake! Weird combo I suppose!

I really enjoy stopping at a pub for a pint and some crisps etc. I often stop in on a bike ride and I don't see how this is any different.

In fact it has reminded me I need to go for a bike-ride-with-pub.

Also - I wore newish boots and my feet hurt. The pub was closer than the coffee shop!

I was going to say I woulddobeer and cake, but I definitely agree with cider and cake. Please have another for me, that sounds like bliss!

I am jealous.
Never had cake with a pint or with my G&T pr wine.

No you bloody enjoy it!!! I don't understand people who won't do things alone

*wouldn't do cake with beer

Frequently head to the pub with a book not weird at all.

Sounds like bliss to me.

Replace cake with cheese scones and butter... But it sounds like utter bliss.

Sounds amazing. I had a pint on my own today (no cake though) halfway through a walk.

Cake and a pint sounds horrible. Crisps and a pint sounds perfect.

Sounds fun!
A pint and cake though?!? Not sure about that combo... but each to their own!

Cake and a pint is weird. A book and a pint and chips or a cake on your own is lovely.

Being in the pub with a pint and a book sounds brilliant! But I'm in the add something savoury camp rather than cake. But it's a minor detail 😆

Only unusual thing is the food and drink combination. I love a solo drink with the crossword or a fat novel.

OP I’d have judged you if you didn’t do this! Enjoy and I think you should have another pint… 😀

Sounds like a wonderful day. I’d have gone for a wine but apart from that 👍🏻 I’m in the newborn and toddler combo trenches right now and I’m really jealous 😂

I often pop into my local on a day off for a pint of cider....i mess around on my phone and people watch for an hour or so....its bliss.

I did this once, in a very quiet pub in a city centre.
A random woman came over and aggressively asked me to leave. Initially I thought she was staff and upset that I'd been there for a while and long since finished the cake. But she wasn't. Told me that I was offending her sitting there reading.

I stood my ground but admittedly haven't done it since!

YABU for eating cake with a pint

Well I wouldn't eat cake with beer just for the taste mix but in all other respects yanbu..totally would do pub with a book.
