Mood: cool
So it’s Sunday. what’s happening? ’Revellers on the tube caused disruption to mark the ending o f legal drinking on the London rail network last night. Very good. This country is obsessed by alcohol. It idolises it. Every work place I go into talks constantly about drink, pubs, nights out. I play along although the last drink I had was a snowball on the first of January. What?
Yes, I know I’m boring but everything in moderation. I used to drink. Every week my wages would be blown on a night out. I would have no spare money afterwards. A combination of drinking lots, the price of drink and earning a low wage.
God I regret it so much. Spending so much money on something which in the long term did me no good at all. Then again I could say better late than never. I absolutely love seeing people standing outside the pub smoking. It reminds me that I could be wasting money on a Sunday or any other day.
Now I can buy a book. It amazes me I can get so much pleasure from something so cheap. A book at £6.99 can last a week, two, whatever. A pint of lager usually cost £2.50 and lasted 30 minutes.
yes, everything in moderation. It’s ok to drink now and then. Not overdo it. But that’s not what the British do. So that’s all I wanted to say. I’m smug, really smug because I don’t drink and smoke. But I do hope the rest of Britain, no matter how long it takes, one day that they too see the light.
