The Alphabet Bar ( all welcome!)

Normally, I am happy to have naval types crowding out the bar, but a bit hard for social distancing when we are all jammed in cheek to cheek [ there appears to be an entire ship's company in here.]

Lulu on the juke box....shout!

my oh my Soop don't you look a picture up there on your bar stool with your red ruby lips, heavy eyeliner and maroon nail polish......you remind me of someone??? ah, I have it, it's Grayson Perry, or do I mean Eddie Izzard? anyway you look glam and are attracting a lot of looks.

Kenneth from Kansas spotted you, Doodle, if I were you I'd watch out. He hasn't taken his eyes off your delicate ankles since I lifted you back on the bar stool.

Just help me up will you soop. I’ll pull myself up on your stool legs. There. No one noticed me going a over tip did they

I'm playing it cool. Perched on the high bar stool, a mere flash of fishnet stockings, and a Babycham with a cherry (on a cocktail stick) close to my pursed ruby red lips.

Have no fear Doodle I'm not in any competition for sailors. (Anyway, I like it down here on the floor).
I've still got last year's cricketers lined up ... Remember lemongrove and big Bruce the Ozzie cricket captain and his double dealings, flirting with you at the same time? ?

Here I am! ?I do love a naval type.
Sailor Beware! ( Actually...I do look a bit like Peggy Mount)?

Get out of my way cherry I’ve seen mine. ??? carillion! You still on the floor. I’ve just gone flying.

Forget all that now, they're here, they're here, the sailors are here!!!!!!! There are 7 of them!!! Ooooooooh, aren't they gorgeous. Bags the tall, dark haired and handsome one, so hands off the rest of you. He's mine.

Every time I have an impromptu whoo!hoo! Get me speaking franglais kip on the floor I suspect you two, Doodle and Cherry just step over me. Vous are tres bad ?

Don’t mind if I do cherry . carillion will be ok there on the floor till we’re ready.......after all, she can’t fall down again if she’s already on the floor ?

Carillion you got so carried away with the idea of flouncing off you fell over your own feet and have ended t.ts up!! Shall we help her or have a little tot of something first, what'd reckon Doodle?

By Jove carillion I’m amazed you can walk in those heels let alone flounce. Oops....spoke too soon....would you like me to help you up? ?

Absolutely typical lemon you always pretend to be snooooozing when you're wearing that gold costume just so we have to finish the cleaning. Well I'm rebelling for a few seconds and having an Advocat and lemonade, so there. I'm getting good at this attractive flouncing off...???

See yoo soon boss xxxx. I'm very happy in my job here, honest

Zzzzzzzzz early night!

You two, reserved.....your putting it all out on show. I will just smoulder in my gold lame and they won’t be able to resist ?

Xcitement ahoy! Please form an ordely queue. We don't want to appear to be too eager. A little reserve will bag us the best of the bunch.

Why not soop, as you can see I am wearing my lovely lacey basque under this silky sheer blouse. Oh my!!! What a swarthy group of sailors there are heading our way, quick get me a fan I've come over all of a quiver ....

Very well, Doodle, if you think I'm flaunting too much flesh, I shall ransack my wardrobe for something more becoming.

Time for me to swan into the bar in my gold lame just in time to grab the attention of any passing Naval man. I will just lean on the bar and allow the slot in my skirt to show off my long glamorous legs.

Unbelievable! soop whatever are you wearing ? your nether regions are exposed to the world.....don’t tell me....chewy bought it for you ?

Sailors! Wow! One each, of course. Please don't tell Marydoll...she is such a flirt! Father Christmas tells me that he is continuing to make a steady, long-winded recovery.

Ray Charles on the jukebox. C'mon soop & Chewy let's park ourselves in the corner over ? open that expensive bottle of whiskey. I've heard on the grapevine that there are American sailors who've just arrived at the dock and I'm sure they will make their way here ...

Quite what you expect us to do when we've only got 14p to spend soop I really don't know!

Pulease...If you think that I shall squeeze my chubby buttocks into something so cheap and unstylish, you can think on...

Oh come on soop we were only trying to help! We've had a whip round and bought you this one to replace yours. Hope you like it! Xxxx
