The Bag Lady Strikes Again

Tuesday.

"I'm a f***ing nursh" was back in the The Hole In The Ground last night.

I don't know where this lady "I'm from A&E, but no one will look after me" is from or what she's done to end up like this but she certainly needs help.

She sits all night next to the ladies' toilet and what's she doing on the way home? Piddling next to a restaurant doorway on a major road into the City centre.

As far as I could see she had had two half pints of lager so what on earth had she been on before she got in the bar? Is she on some sort of prescribed medication that doesn't mix with alcohol?

Whatever she's on - the alcohol is a big mistake because after two or three half pints she's out on the street, with her trousers and knickers down, as a couple of guys walk past her into the restaurant for a meal.

This caring society that we live in, where "Equality is after all a birthright", seems to be making a pretty cack-handed effort in her case.

Hole In The Ground News

The Group that owns the bar has decided that it needs redecorating. I agree with them on that. What I don't agree with is getting the already underpaid staff to do the work in their off duty hours.

This cheapskate company has somehow persuaded bar staff to pick up paint brushes to try to make their own working environment more acceptable! Unbelievable but true. Another cleverly thought out staff bonding exercise or just a rip-off way to save money and improve profit margins?

Professional design teams and decorators - who needs them! My local bar does - that's who.

Now that really is more like it. Thanks Raul.
