219 – Down the Pub 🍻

We look at a very detailed history of pubs (30 seconds) then quickly follow this with what happens in these magical places in Britain. Plus, there’s talk of fighting with your mum’s clothes on, forgetting your penis cream, stabbing yourself with a pencil and lots more! Just keep on ROCKin’, baby! 👊

The RnR Vocabulary that you will learn in this episode:

Ok, I’ll give you that (it is strange to say how are you after 25 mins)
They need to know the etiquette
There were no phones so it was the only way to get hold of someone
In depth history of pubs
You’ve been inside this dark dingy pub
You get some yobbos that are sick on the floor
All the neighbours could see us scrapping outside
People are like part of the furniture (the regulars)
I vividly remember you saying “wouldn’t it be great if we were regulars”
They knew you were good for it
It’s considered a big no no
You’d be laughed out of the pub
It’s a pub it’s just a free for all
People push in front of you
This is a sound guy
It’s very hit and miss (rounds)
I’ve been done over here
It works both ways
For god’s sake!
One of our friends who is a lightweight
Last orders
You have about a 10 minute window to order a drink
It’s all that’s keeping me going!

RnR Grammar

In today’s pod, CC used the wonderful phrase “at no point did I ever have a pencil behind my ear”, did you notice that “did I ever…” – wow! This is called an INVERSION sentence, where we invert the auxiliary verb and the subject to add emphasis to the sentence, in this sentence, there is no auxiliary verb, so as we are talking about the past, we use “did”. It’s very high level stuff, have a more detailed read about it HERE.
