The Alphabet Bar ( all welcome!)

My, my. I just did soop and he’s gorgeous. Oooh I’ve come over all unnecessary ?

No worries...I shall pour you a massive cherry brandy...

Open another bottle

Please, pour me a double Woodmouse, I suddenly feel in need.

'Que Sera Sera' on the juke box. Shall we link arms and sing along? Or what...

Really good idea soop. And then the Hokey Cokey? Left arm in.....

Soo sowy I fink I’m a bit woozy. I seem to have consumed a whole bottle of cherry brandy. Hic! ?

Tea for you, Doodle. I shall recycle the dozens of empty bottle after dark. Wouldn't want folk to think that we're a boozy lot.

'U Make Me Wanna Dance' being played on the jukebox. Justice Moon has a soulful voice, so right for smooching to.

Very strange names.....George Jones and Justice Moon!?
Are you sure they exist Soop?

Would anyone like to buy a plateful of jellied eels and whelks, I seem to have over ordered ( by 200 crates of the things instead of 20) it will have to be an eel and whelk week here.

Xcuse me, lemongrove, they really did exist way back when.

You and your over ordering lemon. Jellied eel and whelks ugh no thank you. I don’t like anything that wriggles

Zzzzzzzzzz oh! did I nod off then? Doodle you fibber, you certainly liked that fireman, and he was wriggling as you carried him off over your shoulder last week!

Andy Williams on the jukebox, Moon Rivvvvvver !

But he was wriggling in all the right places lemon

Cannot disagree with that, Doodle...his legs were doing an upside down Highland Fling...of sorts.

Dear oh dear, the poor soul, he will never return here, that’s for sure ( and will need therapy).?
Dominoes anyone?

Elvis on the jukebox.....Blue suede shoes

Followed by Freddie and The Dreamers. An afternoon of nostalgia.

Great Balls Of Fire! ( Back to firemen again)
Got to get a move on today, we have a ‘elf n safety inspector calling at 11a.m so must drag a dishcloth over the bar top and tables.Will some kind helper clear up the whelk mess I left in the kitchen?
Free for all at 10.30 but no as we must all stay sober this morning.

Gosh this is where you are all hiding!!!!

Have left some cans of cider on the side found in the garage only slightly out of date

Hello GrannyGravy! How lovely to see you! Sit down, have a drink; it's lemon's round. I'll have a white wine spritzer with vodka please.

I don’t think so!
It’s all hands to the pump ( sanitizing hand wash pump) this morning until the inspection is over.
Please don’t tell me you have brought your ferret Chewy
( if you have, then put it back up your trouser leg, pronto!)

Julep, mint julep that will make our breath fresh and no one will guess that there have been copious Irish coffees consumed during the clean-up ☕️?
