Make mine a pint
Posted on

‘I’ve never been more convinced than I am now. Beer is the answer.’

I’m a great supporter of my local pub, but even I can see that it could be improved slightly. Essentially I go there for a pint of London Pride, because that’s what a pub is for, but while I’m there I might have a game of darts or talk to Max the Soothsayer and learn which of the functions on his new Renault he has divined over the past week. It’s all very agreeable but not especially constructive.

So in some ways a pub I once visited in the deep south of Ireland was better, because it was also a hardware shop. This sort of thing is quite normal over there and makes a great deal of sense.

Hardware shops tend to be open when I’m at work, and difficult to fit in to the typical daily rigour of chores and duties, so shifting the shop opening hours to correspond with those of the boozer benefits everyone. You go out for a few jars and come home with some string, some parcel tape, a tap washer or any one of a number of things that are probably chiding you from a “to do” list attached to the fridge with a magnet shaped like a tomato.

It’s good for the hardware business, too, because there’s no denying that I came home with a shepherd’s crook and in the cold light of every sober day since I’ve been forced to acknowledge that I didn’t actually need one.

Read the rest here. More updates coming later today.

Make mine a Messerschmitt, if you please
Posted on August 20, 2010

Seventy years ago the Battle of Britain reached a turning point. James May considers the greatest air battle in history.

I always remember to celebrate the anniversary of moving into my current house because it occurred, purely by chance, on a memorable date. It was September 15 2000.

That’s Battle of Britain day to you young people.

Normally, the celebrations are a subdued affair. I pour myself a glass of something nice and stand quietly for a few minutes, wondering, for the 10th year running, what might be in the boxes I still haven’t unpacked from the previous place.

This year, though, I’m going to push the boat out. It’s a decade since I first sat on a soggy packing case, woefully ill-prepared to combat the might of knotted pine and rustic embossed-tile ambition that had amassed such a terrifyingly short distance away across the kitchen. It is also seven decades since the turning point of the greatest air battle in history.

So I’m going to push a battered old deck chair out into the front yard and sit there with a dog, reading 101 words in Polish (so I can communicate with the builders). There will be a huge bell hanging outside the kitchen window and some signs exhorting me to be aware of the dangers of German people lurking in the sun, presumably because they will have bagged all the beach towels.
