I don’t know if he’s ever mentioned it, but Nigel Farage is actually quite partial to a fag and a pint

Think they’ll end up drastically distancing themselves from him in any aesthetic regard very soon (sack off the tweed & pint photoshoots) and just get stuck into mid-twentieth centure bare bones historical reenactment they’re all really into.

Sunday opening hours pre-1995 used to be 12pm-3pm, then shut until 7pm-10.30pm. In practice, that meant some people slamming down as many as they could before staggering home for lunch and a nap (source: my parents’ pub).

Think that derived from wartime licensing laws, so yeah, that probably would be popular with kippers. At least until they realised it meant going home for a bit to face their awful empty lives (or to church lol).

@hexagram Copy Australia in the 50s when pubs were only open til 6pm in the week, meaning everyone raced out of work at 5pm and sunk as many pints as quickly as possible before 6pm. The Six O’Clock Swill they called it.

Also “The bartender didn’t carry your glass to the tap. He carried a pistol-shaped spigot hitched to a long tube and squirted your glass full where you stood.” to save precious drinking time.
