I'll be doing a shift tomorrow but I think that makes it even more exciting because I'll be in the middle of it all...(not the middle of the soccer field, but you know what I meant) (FYI: I'm still not giving full details on work until it's been sorted out! Sorry)
I did a trial shift today and it was funny. I never saw myself working behind the bar before, but I was! I was just making drinks, serving Ale and making mistakes! It was marvelous! I literally was learning and pretending I knew at the same time. I was embarrassed because I never really poured an Ale from a tap before, and wowzers do you need some arm strength for that! I feel great though, because I really learned a lot.
Chips are fries. Crisps are Chips.
Aye Aye Aye! I was a mess but it went well apparently!
People bought me drinks which was nice too...
The most interesting thing I found, was the way I started to say things with a British accent.
It was only some words or like the Ale's especially! Ale's aren't really popular where I'm from. People just like their Coronas and Guiness' and Heinekens. Nothing too crazy. So since it was the first time I was saying some of these Ale names, I learned to say them with a British accent. Which kinda weirded me out! Here I was offering one dude a "cough-fee" and another dude a Deuchars IPA, pronounced "aye pee eya"
I took the bus home after, everyone was drunk. Two dudes were drinking bottles of Beck's on the bus. One guy had some fries and was offering them to other people. He later ended up falling on the floor and spilling his fries all over him. He actually fell because he was on his cell phone and he couldn't hold on because he had his fries in his other hand. Despite his fall, he kept his conversation on the phone completely normal! He was applauded on the bus for his graceful but not so graceful fall.
Police in London are way too polite too. If I wasn't so tired after my shift, I think I would have appreciated the situation more. A dude on the bus gave the bus driver a problem before she pulled away, so she grabbed two police officers and told them to kick the guy off the bus. Now, not to hate on London Police officers, but yo, if that happened in New York City, the dude would have been thrown in jail by now. It took the cops 10 minutes to ask the misbehaving dude to get off the bus. And for such a hostile moment, the conversation sounded nicer than a couple arguing about what wall paper to put up in the living room. Literally, the argument between the two officers and the young man went on for a good 10 minutes and the officers were being so polite. "Please sir, the bus driver requested that you get off this bus, we are going to have to escort you off this bus right now." Like bro, you're the cops, just take the dude off! It prolonged so much, it kinda reminded me of this: REMINDER

LMAO Sarina! It's funny how you have like mental assortment of family guy clips that can relate to everything you go through. That situation sounded pretty hilarious I think I would've been cracking up if I were there. Ahh those London police just living up to their reputations lol. You're right, over here the police would rough you up or grill you down if you even look at them the wrong way. Trust me i know lol. Thanks for the laugh. I hope you're well!
