Just opened a small but gleaming new bar in the best part of town, The Alphabet, 1950’s themed bar all polished chrome and plastic, with a juke box and frothy coffee machine.
Drop in when out shopping for a chat and a snifter.?
The bar only has a few house rules, no pj’s to be worn, keep to an alphabetical order and be inventive.Free drinks for the surreal and humorous contributions.?

Ernie the fastest milkman in the west.

(If you’ve spread mustard on the jukebox lemon I expect you to clean it up ?)

lemongrove Fri 10-Jan-20 21:54:13

FGS .....would I do that? Although I did drop half a sausage somewhere ( haven’t found it yet)?

Doodle Fri 10-Jan-20 21:58:56

Great Scott was that a sausage? I thought Petyr the new barman had had an accident and I’ve been trying to sew it back on ?

lemongrove Fri 10-Jan-20 22:07:00

How does sewing half a sausage to Petyr’s jeans help anyone Doodle ( one too many again?)
Anyway I have it on good authority ( Chewbacca) that he has no need of extra sausages, with or without mustard.

Ifield yodelling on the jukebox again ( is that you doing it, Scribbles?)?
It’s doing my head in.

Doodle Fri 10-Jan-20 22:45:04

Just thought chewy might be in need of a snack while on the job................................she is still working in the sewers? ?

gmarie Fri 10-Jan-20 22:57:54

Kind of loving the Ifield - "I Remember Youuuu"'s my favorite!

Chewbacca Sat 11-Jan-20 00:03:18

Let me just say Doodle that I have been promoted. I'm no longer working down in the sewers; I've been promoted to Chief S**t Shoveller at the water works. New uniform too! Khaki dungarees.

So, as I'm celebrating, the drinks are on me! ????????

Doodle Sat 11-Jan-20 00:07:55

May I be the first to congratulate you chewy and I’ll have a triple vodka, rum and black with a whisky chaser thank you.
Just one thing though..........is there a lot of S**t at the water works ?.

Doodle Sat 11-Jan-20 00:09:05

Nice dungarees by the way. Good fit too. Very ....snug ..aren’t they blush

Chewbacca Sat 11-Jan-20 00:17:10

Oh Doodle, you'd be staggered at the amount of s**t I have to shovel; it's pretty much every where I go, not just at the water works! grin

Chewbacca Sat 11-Jan-20 00:19:16

Pleased you like my dungarees Doodle. They have to be snug so that bits can't fall in. envy not envy

gmarie Sat 11-Jan-20 01:01:44

Quoting you two for my Restaurant/Bar review (writing fiercely in tablet).

lemongrove Sat 11-Jan-20 10:03:05

Really you lot....have a little decorum please!
Can you change at the door Chewbacca .....there’s a distinct whiff of something in the air around here?

lemongrove Sat 11-Jan-20 10:04:19

Shovel to be left at the door as well.

lemongrove Sat 11-Jan-20 10:05:29

Time for a Tetley's?

gmarie Sat 11-Jan-20 18:46:07

Undoubtedly! Or coffee, perhaps? grin

lemongrove Sat 11-Jan-20 18:50:33

Vermouth in a fancy glass anyone?

Chewbacca Sat 11-Jan-20 18:57:57

Very well, I'll take off my khaki dungarees, but I'm warning you now that what's underneath isn't much more alluring. Have I got to remove my rubber waders too?

Scribbles Sat 11-Jan-20 20:15:02

Well! Nobody's ever accused me of yodelling before. Not guilty, m'lud. Are you sure that's Frank Ifield? I haven't seen the cat for a couple of days.

Scribbles Sat 11-Jan-20 20:17:19

Xtra help needed here, please. I've just found poor Tibby the tabby with her tail stuck in the coffee grinder.

Chewbacca Sat 11-Jan-20 20:30:44

Yikes! Ground cat's tail? Save it and we'll use it when the coffee runs low.

You're welcome Doodle wink

Tangerine Sat 11-Jan-20 20:34:13

Zzzzz - party in the bar over for tonight!

Scribbles Sat 11-Jan-20 21:17:56

About time we had a clean up while it's quiet; wouldn't want the Public Health people closing us down for hygienic practices.
