Coming Soon

The first part of this story happened in the days before smart phones and cheap digital cameras, so you'll have to take me at my word. In my local pub there used to be a sign on the INSIDE of the fire door that said "Anybody seen using this door as an exit will be asked to leave."

I never had the nerve to make a theatrical departure through the fire door to find out if I was asked to come back in to the pub, so that they could then ask me to leave again.

For about the last month I have been enjoying this truism, which somebody has gone to the trouble of printing and displaying:

They're much more excited about the day before the day before St George's day than I am.
