Then why did you post it here?!
There is a possibility - just a small one - that I was a little drunk last night and instead of reading a book and going to sleep I posted things on the internet.
I still stand by the fact even for what’s intended to be an amusing article it’s a shit one though
It’s not irrelevant, it’s irreverent. Cmon, it’s a joke article. You may be reading a bit too much into it.

I think the author is aiming for AA Gill but ended up more AA Milne 😅
I don’t like it but I do find it funny when a queue forms. No one wants it, no one planned it, but no one will break order and go straight to the bar. It’s one of the few things where we truly are all in it together

I found it smug and irritating. The humorous columnists usually manage much better than this on something more substantial.
I did read the source for the column on holiday though and that’s a bit better https://tinyurl.com/22jpnfw5

I don’t know about this “we” - I’ve never seen it and people would treat you with scorn for even attempting it.

I’ve never seen it either. You’d either get laughed at or lamped.

I’ve seen it. But only among youngsters who look too young to have been ordering in pubs before 2020.
