Hoorah! It’s Officially ‘Beer O’Clock’

31 Aug

In typical style for a British August Bank Holiday, the weather is poor and miserable.

Why should I be even surprised? It is summer after all!

Our day here on site in West Wales has been unsettled at most weather-wise so we decamped to the local for for some lunch (surf ‘n’ turf and a few bevies). As I write this post sat in our awning on the evening, the rain is lashing against roof and walls and making a hell of a racket.

Don’t believe me – download and listen to this sound clipto get a feel of what I mean (it’s 6.9Mb .WAV file which for Firefox users should stream in your browser. IE users will have to download it).

I pity those poor saps in tents nearby, if this keeps up – they won’t be getting any kip tonight.

Beer O’Clock

On a more positive note I read that the Collins English Dictionary has added in 267 additions in the English language, one of which is my much used “Beer O’Clock” phrase.

Which describes, in case you don’t know, when it’s time for a beer or three.

I suppose now that as the phrase is official, there’s nothing left to do but to put it into practice. I’ll drink to that!

Cheers!
