Postman and the Wine Bar.Postman gave up drinking in 2012,after his gallbladder exploded and nearly finished him off.I was in hospital thirteen nights,the first four out of it on morphine,as they tried to sort me out.
They did,you see i had been binge drinking,and thinking ii am fit healthy and cycle 50-60 miles anytime i like.That summer we had been on our first and only all inclusive holiday,and being a Yorkshire lad.I had paid for it i was having it.So coffee around 11-00 plus a whisky.Coffee around 15-00 and a whisky.Night on the booze a pint or four or five with a couple of whiskies.Two weeks of that.
Back home friday night was a block of chocolate and half of the bottle of red wine.The other half with another chocolate bar saturday night,while on here.Well that then got to a full bottle of red friday and another full bottle of red saturday.
Bang midnight one night the gallbladder exploded and nearly finished me off.I recovered but it took time.
Well tonight our Dan has taken us out to a local wine beer bar,very cosy and very nice.Lemonade for me Mrs Postman enjoyed her pint so much she suggested another round,i agreed.But this time i fancied a shandy,don't know why but i did.So here is why i am telling you this,see i don't go out often to pubs anymore.So the round was-One pint of North Bar pale beer,One bottle of Cornish Orchard cider,one small Fentimanns Rose Lemondae and one pint of lager shandy,which was very tasty.THE SHOCK WELL THE BILL WAS £16-20P .When i wer a lad Double Diamond was 10p a pint and that was expensive Tetley beer was one shilling and one penny or one shilling and three pence,i am way behind the times.
