Ashes, Beer and Chips

You could have predicted it months ago. My employers are big cricket fans, and the Ashes means a lot to them, but having an Aussie start work in the office at the begining of the series just made it all the more important.

So today, the last day of the summer’s games, meant they would be down the pub. I’m surprised they made it to noon to be honest. A quick break for a meeting, then back to the pub. After a full working (ha!) day, we joined them as the match came to an end. A couple of beers later and the day out of the office came and bit them on the ass. Bad moods, awkward phone-calls, threats of heading home.

Excuses made, we left them to drown their sorrows. And after an ‘on-plan’ goats cheese and asparagus sarnie at Charing Cross, the chip shop called. The Chicken and Mushroom Pukka Pie was unecessary, but the chips were just what the doctor ordered.

Only Monday, you say?
