My name's Will and I'm a social alcoholic. It's been two months, seven days and 20 hours since my last drink.
Went to the Penny Lane Wine Bar to unwind yesterday after a particularly unpleasant and stressful day.
Ordered a pint of soda water and blackcurrant. Guess how much. Go on, guess.
ONE POUND FIFTY!
One pound fifty for a glug of cordial and some carbonated water.
For that sort of money, I want it served by Sir Paul himself.
To add insult to injury, I had to drink it in the poky room at the back, where one table of fellow drinkers looked suspiciously like gentlemen of the road and apparently everyone was smoking cheap foreign fags. Now I know how a kipper feels.
Oh well, the things we put up with so we can drink in a gaff with a link to the Beatles.
They were from Liverpool, you know. Not a lot of people know that.
