Yes, there are those amongst us who enjoy the smell of old, musty men and their desperation.

For someone such as myself, who doesn't use alcohol, the pub has limited appeal.

I am. No cigarettes, no gambling, no drugs, no alcohol, no sex.

I am simply better than all of you.

I quite like the Ship and Shovell just up the alley beyond. There can't be many pubs on both sides of a street.
