The Hole in the GroundIt is likely I shall be referring to the Hole in the Ground quite regularly so it is a good idea to provide you with a little more information about the place.

The Hole in the Ground is the name we – Milt, Raul and myself – use for the local pub that we frequent. Milt chose this name because the place is basically a bit crap.

Given another choice within easy walking distance, we wouldn’t bother with the place. It is often dirty and frequently smells. In fact on evenings when a pub quiz, karaoke, or disco are scheduled we avoid the place altogher and visit a slightly less crap pub somewhat further down the road.

The Staff in the Hole in the Ground aren’t bad, they are just hindered by a pub management company that are completly clueless. Oh, and there isn’t any beer, just lager and nitrogenated (is that a word?) keg piss.

Actually strictly speaking that isn’t true. There is beer – but as I haven’t seen anyone actually drink it I expect what you’ll get served has been in the pipes for days.

Oh humm!
