All sorts. voice-verified

Again, I mean, growing up where I grew up, voice-verified

It was before the days of mobile phones. voice-verified

So you would, you'd get the landline to the phone would ring and then exactly you'd get the, the bar would go silent and all of the people with wives would go silent. voice-verified

And then occasionally you'd have the one that would pull up, pull up out the front. voice-verified

There was a big window in this particular pub and there'd be a car that would just pull up right out front and then it'd be... voice-verified

Oh, has Dave's missus gone for him? voice-verified

And that over, again, the pub that my dad used to drink in, the bar was at the front with a window looking out. voice-verified

Mate, I saw all sorts. voice-verified

You'd have, you know, the wife had come storming in the front, the husband had gone out the passageway out the lounge and over the fence at the side of the pub or something and, oh no, you've missed him, he left ages ago. voice-verified

We weren't ever just going for a drink. voice-verified
